Explore some of the feathered residents of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge on this guided tour that is sure to be an enlightening, engaging, and wholly fascinating addition to any wild Hatteras Island vacation.

The Pea Island Bird Walk is a weekly experience offered by the refuge that encompasses a scenic and guided walk along the region’s North Pond area. Along the way, visitors can be on the lookout for some of the nearly 400 species of birds that call the refuge home, all while hearing a wealth of information on what makes the refuge – and the varying species themselves – so unique.

Field guides and binoculars will be on hand for visitors to borrow to learn a little more, although folks are welcome (and encouraged) to bring along their own cameras and viewing devices. Visitors are also encouraged to bring along bug spray and sturdy shoes for the ensuing trek, and both beginning and expert birdwatchers of all ages are welcome to attend and join in the fun. The event launches from the Pea Island Visitor Center, which is just a few miles north of Rodanthe on NC Highway 12. A fun and scenic stroll throughout, the Pea Island Bird Walk is a great way to enjoy an outdoors adventure off the sand.

Established in 1948 by Walter and Stelle Gray, Gray’s began as a single store on the beach road in Nags Head, a land mark that has been beautifully transformed into Seagreen Art Gallery. Visitors to the original Gray’s may remember that the family home was located above the store and that Walter Gray had a passion for Big Band music that was often playing on the store speakers, giving shoppers a little swing in their step.

 

Modern-day Gray’s is still family owned and operated by their children Ronnie and Julie Gray, who carry on a legacy of superior customer service and traditional values. Ronnie’s wife Susan is also an important part of the business. “It really was always a family operating as a business rather than a business being run by a family,” explains Ronnie Gray. “When our visitors come in, they are greeted by a warm hello and a ‘Welcome to Gray’s.’ We try to welcome them as if they’re entering our own home”
