Ferry Trip and the Gulls

Yesterday we traveled to Hatteras Island on the Outer Banks via two ferries. The first ferry took us from Swan Quarter to Ocracoke Island. We drove from 12 miles north from the south end of the island where Ocracoke Village is located to the north end to catch the ferry to the south end of Hatteras Island and the town of Hatteras. There was a fee for the ferry from Swan Quarter ($30 for us as we are oversized) but no fee from Ocracoke to Hatteras.

I spend some time watching the gulls and managed to get a few shots along the way.

The first picture is not a gall but a pelican of some sort. I got lucking in the second with the bird zeroing in on a bug (note his beak is just starting to open).
