I have never seen so many Egrets all in one place before. There were Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets all hanging out together on Nauset Marsh. They must be getting ready to migrate down south. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
There were over 45 of them by the little tidal pond. Have you ever seen so many Egrets all together? #capecod #birding #nausetmarsh #forthill
I love that the Black-eyed Susan wildflowers are still blooming this late in the season. I have always loved Black-eyed Susan wildflowers as they remind me of my childhood in Connecticut and hiking the wildflower-laden trails in Colorado.
Such brilliant colors… and so many different varieties. Isn’t this one a beauty? They bloom through October, so you still have a chance to see them.
The colorful Baltimore Orioles that we look so forward to seeing every spring have all pretty much migrated the past few days. I can always tell when they are getting ready to go as they eat like there’s no tomorrow right before they leave.
Last week I was going through almost a whole jar of grape jelly every day. There were a lot of hungry Baltimore Orioles and their young ones getting ready for a long trip!
This beauty came by right before they left on Monday and he was one of the brightest orange Baltimore Orioles that I have ever seen. He is just stunning, don’t you think?
Good-bye until next spring… we will certainly miss you and all of your constant chattering and activity over the winter!
