Lots More Pilings At Rock Harbor On Cape Cod.

 

There are lots of new pilings at Rock Harbor and so much activity. I took this photo from the Eastham side with the pretty reflection.  It will be interesting to see what it looks like when all the boats are back and all the work is done!

Can you see the new Osprey nest that was erected? It has 2 new Osprey who have built a nest and settled in.

The Piping Plovers Are Back At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

The Piping Plovers are back at Coast Guard Beach and what a treat it is to see them scurrying about. (Click on blog link for other photos.) Rarely do we see 3 of them so close to each other.

During breeding season, which is now, their black neck bands are more pronounced. The juveniles do not have a neck band.

This one looked like she was sitting on a  nest as she scrunched into the indentation in the sand.

It is so awesome that these gorgeous birds come back here every year to breed. We are so lucky!

 

 

The Hummingbirds Are Back On Cape Cod!

It is so much fun watching all of the birds migrate back to Cape Cod after the long winter. Anticipating that the Hummingbirds might come soon, we put our sugar water out last weekend.

Yesterday, as we were sitting on the deck enjoying the gorgeous weather, this Ruby-throated Hummingbird came by to feed many times during the afternoon. What a treat! It is so wonderful to have them back again. What a beautiful little bird and so much fun to watch!
