Lighthouse climb total:  8


Yes, there are deer on Hatteras Island!  I took this picture when I drove down to the point of Hatteras Island today.  The deer here are not as big as Ohio deer, they are much thinner also.  I believe this is due to the fact that there isn't as much grass on the island, and the grass that there is isn't as green and thick as grass in Ohio.   There are also raccoons -- unfortunately the raccoons like to eat sea turtle eggs.
I also see lizards, tree frogs, snakes, and some beautiful black and yellow butterflies.  From the Sound to the Ocean, there are so many different types of creatures on the Outer Banks!
