Sea birds dive feeding off Fort Fisher, Kure Beach NC 28449
Sea birds dive feeding off Fort Fisher NC beach 12-28-10. While doing a beach portrait photography session at Fort Fisher Park in Kure Beach NC, I saw these sea birds feeding on Spanish anchovies. The Blue Fin Tuna are running under the anchovies cutting them into pieces. The birds dive down to get the left overs. It's amazing how organized the birds are. If you look closely you can see a distinct pattern.
Fort Fisher State Historic Site
Fort Fisher was a Confederate fort built during the American Civil War (War Between the States). It protected the vital trading routes of the port at Wilmington, North Carolina, from 1861 until its capture by the Union in 1865. The fort was located on one of Cape Fear River's two outlets to the Atlantic Ocean on what was then known as Federal Point and today is known as Pleasure Island. Because of the roughness of the seas at this location, it was known as the Southern Gibraltar.
