While spending a week on North Carolina’s iconic Outer Banks recently, The Island News photographer Bob Sofaly grabbed this photo of a small flock of pelicans with a rising full moon as a back drop. Sofaly said he waited two days to get just the right shot and captured this image 20 minutes before the sun set behind the sand dunes.
