Cooper’s Hawk Stopped By Looking For A Meal On Cape Cod.

It was a chilly day and Phil and I were sitting inside when we both saw this flash fly across our yard. It looked like a pretty big bird. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

We were lucky when he landed on the branch right outside our window. I was able to get my camera and get a few photos before he flew away… without getting lunch!

“The Cooper’s hawk is a medium-sized, agile North American hawk known for hunting other birds in wooded and suburban areas, often surprising prey with quick, maneuverable flights through trees.”

Hiking The Silver Spring Loop Trail At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod.

The Silver Spring Loop Trail at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is one of our favorite hikes. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

There is so much diversity along the trail as you hike along the spring where you can see turtles and water birds while you’re listening to all of the chatter from  birds in the trees. There are several places to rest or just “absorb.”

Going over the wooden bridge, there is usually a beautiful reflection in the water while the banks of the spring are garnered in many different types of wildflowers in season.

There is so much to see and it changes every tine we go there. We never know what the adventure will be!

The Baltimore Orioles Are Back On Cape Cod!

It is always such a treat when the Baltimore Orioles make their sumner journey back to Cape Cod. We take bets early in April on when that that magic date will be. And then we start getting ready by mid-April by putting the grape jelly out and cutting strands of sisal twine for them to use for weaving their intricate nests, hoping they’ll build those nests and raise their young in our yard. Fingers crossed!
