Yesterday we were having our picnic lunch at Boat Meadow when I looked at my side window and there was a little Egret that had just landed between the cars. He was just adorable.
I quickly got my camera but only got one click. This is it!
I’ve never had an Egret so close to me. He was no farther than 4 feet away. He looked up at me for a few seconds and probably realized where he was and flew away.
Yesterday was one of those gorgeous, “Indian summer” days that you just want to be outside all day!
These two kayakers and paddle-boarder were enjoying the beautiful weather and calm waters on Cape Cod Bay and the salt marsh. What a perfect day to do just about anything outside!
It was a rainy day last weekend when we stopped to see if there were any birds at Boat Meadow Beach. An there, on the mud flats, was a group (also called a “wedge”) of Egrets just hanging out.
What a sight to see all of these Cormorants enjoying their time on this Sunfish which was waiting to be taken out for the season. There was even a Cormorant standing on the mooring and more of them just swimming around anxious for that precious space to open up.
All I could think of was that I hope whoever owns this boat brought a big brush to clean it off. Or maybe just flip it over! The Cormorants were loving it!
