We love to stop at this boat launch that overlooks Pleasant Bay as there is always something interesting to see whether it be birds, boats, wildlife, or anything. The water was so calm this day that the reflection of the dock was  just beautiful. What do you think?

Raccoon Tracks In The Mud On Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.

It was low tide when Phil and I took a walk from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach. When we stopped over the bridge to photograph some shorebirds foraging around in the mudflats of Nauset Marsh, I noticed these tracks in the mud under the bridge. What animal had made them? Hmmmm…

When I got home, I got my Animal Tracks book out and did a little research. Were they raccoon tracks? That was my best guess with those long toes.

I texted my friend, Stephanie who is the Executive Director at Wild Care Cape Cod and asked her for her expertise.  Yes, in fact, it was a raccoon who made those tracks. Thank you, Stephanie! You came to my rescue… again! I wonder what that raccoon was looking for…

Wild Care is a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation center on Cape Cod that rescues, treats, and releases sick, injured or orphaned animals.

It was a gorgeous day for a walk on Coast Guard Beach. We lucked out as the tide was going out, so we could walk all the way down the spit. We were so surprised to see so many sandbars, and big sandbars, all along the shore. Have been to Coast Guard Beach lately?

We stopped at the beach the other day just to sit on the bench and enjoy a beautiful summer afternoon on the Cape. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

There were these two “jetboards” that were on shore ready to be taken out. We had never seen one before, so this was really cool! They are run by batteries and controlled by a hand-held device. You can see how they can elevate themselves in the water. Wow! Have you ever seen one of these new Jetboards?

There were still a lot of Piping Plovers scurrying around on the flats at low tide looking for food on Coast Guard Beach a couple of days ago. This little guy looked like a newbie this summer… so cute!
