Pack Of Coyotes Feeding On A Humpback Whale By Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.

1 Comment

We were at Hemenway Landing yesterday having our picnic lunch when we saw someone looking out in the distance with her binoculars. Hmmmmm…. what did she find? (Click on blog link for other photos.)

I got my camera and went out to see what she was looking at… a pack of Coyotes feeding on a Humpback Whale. Apparently this dead whale had washed up on the shores of Nauset Marsh a few weeks ago and then recently, with the big storm and huge tide, it washed way up on the shore of Nauset Marsh.

Three of the five Coyotes that we saw were feeding on the whale while the other two had finished feeding and were meandering out in the tall grass.

We just happened to be there at the right time. I never would have seen them without some help! Thank you to the lady with the binoculars… what a great sighting!

Four Rare Whimbrels At Boat Meadow Beach On Cape Cod.

1 Comment

Yesterday was one of those days where, if you want to get out and take a walk, you do it between raindrops. Well, the rain had stopped and the sky didn’t look too dark so I thought I’d walk over to Boat Meadow Beach. Was I in for a big surprise! (Click on blog link for other photos.)

As I walked out the door, I turned around to get my camera and a plastic bag in case it started raining. I was so glad that I grabbed my camera as I saw 4 Whimbrels feeding by the water’s edge. They were just beautiful.

I’ve only see them once before here on Cape Cod at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary a few years ago, so this was a big treat! It is rare to see them on the Cape,  especially four of them together.

They are easily identified by their black and white-striped crown and long “decurved” bill. Have you ever seen a Whimbrel? It certainly made my day!

Sunday Surfing At LeCount Hollow On Cape Cod.

We had so much fun watching the surfers catch those big waves on Saturday that we headed back up to LeCount Hollow on Sunday and it was packed! (Click on blog link for other photo.)

There were so many surfers in the water with a huge crowd on top of the dunes watching them. The waves were even bigger than on Saturday. What a great morning!

Huge Waves Yesterday At LeCount Hollow Beach On Cape Cod!

With a large storm off the coast and a Small Craft Warning, the waves were huge and the surfers were out en masse yesterday at Lecount Hollow in Wellfleet! (Click on blog link for other photo.)

It was so much fun to stand on top of the dunes and watch them far below battling those gigantic waves! #lecounthollow #surfing #wellfleet
