We haven’t seen many butterflies this summer so it was a huge treat to see this Tiger Swallowtail flitting about the yard. It was just gorgeous! (Click on blog link for other photo.)

Before The Crowds In Provincetown On Cape Cod.
Northern Bobwhite At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
I’ve been looking for the Northern Bobwhite at Fort Hill all summer. I’ve heard his call of “Bob-white, bob-white,” but I haven’t been able to find him.
And then we drove up the road one morning last week and there he was… walking down the road. I was able to get a couple of photographs before he ran into the high grass.
Have you seen the Bobwhite at Fort Hill this summer? #eastham #forthill
Pretty Pink Water-Willows Are Blooming On Cape Cod.
The unique Water-Willow is an 3-9 foot aquatic shrub with 1/2 to 1 inch magenta flowers that blooms in July and August. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I’ve seen them growing in the shallow waters on the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill, the Silver Spring Trail at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary in Wellfleet or at Wiley Park by the bridge. It is really cool to see how they grow in clusters along the main stem.

Love These Two Green Herons On Cape Cod.
These 2 Green Herons were so much fun to watch the other morning. It looks like a mother and a young one. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
The larger one would walk along the rail and the little one would follow along. At one point, it looked like they were fighting as the parent tried to get away.
The last photograph almost looks like the parent is reprimanding the little one. So much fun to watch… and then they both flew away!
