It was a beautiful day to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod, which was rated one of the top ten beaches in the USA this past summer. And there were lots of Seagulls to photograph along the shore.
This particular Seagull took flight just as Phil clicked away. I loved seeing it in action!

This little Red-breasted Nuthatch has been hanging around our yard for quite a while now. They are a small nuthatch, only 4 1/2″. Their back is steel blue, their chin is white and their underparts are rufous. They are very distinguishable with their black line through their eye.
I love how they climb down the trees upside down, looking for insects in the bark.
I wonder if it will stay for the winter or migrate south?
This beautiful Great Horned Owl must love our little bird bath in our yard here on Cape Cod. He still comes most mornings right after dawn. It’s almost as if he times it so the motion detector won’t go off when he flies in.
I thought he had flown away until I looked up in the tall White Pine tree and he was sunning himself and drying his feathers. I’ve been taking the photographs through the window so I won’t disturb him.
Magnificent bird, don’t you think? Love his horned ears!
I always stop on the Bridge Road bridge to see what I can see in the waters below. This time I happened to look down on the rocks and see them piled high with Scallop shells.
I wonder how the shells got there. Did the Seagulls drop them on the rocks and then feast on the Scallops inside? Why were they all piled so near each other? I thought it was a great photograph and a great story… whatever it may be!
