A Pea Island Walk /May 17, 2022 by Dave Hileman Pea Island is a NWR just south of Bodie Island on the Outer Banks -- OBX Series (3 photos) Great White Egret glides past. Graceful snowy egret. This is a massive sea turtle of somekind oozing through the brackish water with his bugeyes and snoot out of the water. Never saw one of these in the wild before.
