Spent Saturday and Sunday on the Outer Banks and saw the same species as
Tom Krakauer, including not seeing the Tropical Kingbird. On the way out,
we visited the north part of Alligator National Wildlife Refuge off of
Milltail Road and was treated to a raptor fest. In addition to the dozens
of Northern Harriers, Red-tailed Hawks, and Turkey Vultures we had great
looks at a Rough-legged Hawk and a subadult Bald Eagle. The hunting must
have been good as several of the birds were on the ground dining.
