White-Breasted Nuthatch At Our Home On Cape Cod

This White-breasted Nuthatch is a regular at our home here on Cape Cod. I love how they walk up and down the trees looking for bugs.

We have had so many birds in our yard that we went out and bought another bird feeder so the birds did not have to “wait in line” for so long.  They do have good manners though, as they wait for one bird to leave before the next one flies in.

Have you ever seen a White-breasted Nuthatch?

Hilarious Seagull On Car Roof At Fort Hill On Cape Cod

We were just finishing a little hike on one of the trails at Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod when we saw this car at the top parking lot with a Seagull perched on the roof. I don’t think the driver knew it was there, but everyone walking by did. The Seagull just stood there and paraded around on the roof, enjoying the beautiful scenery and all of the attention.

I clicked away as it was so cute. One of the cars stopped on the way out and asked if we had seen the guy’s license plate. I say, “No.” He said there was a Seagull on the license plate.

How funny is that! So I went back and clicked away again. Too funny! (I deleted the number on the license late…)

Mockingbird On Fort Hill Trail In Eastham On Cape Cod

Mockingbirds love to hang out on the hiking trails at Fort Hill on Cape Cod. They got their name because they love to “mock” or make sounds like the other birds. They are pretty cool.

As you first enter the trail off the lower parking lot, you can see many Mockingbirds in the bushes and trees to the left.

Have you ever heard a Mockingbird?

Seal And Seagull Fighting For Fish At Chatham Fish Pier On Cape Cod

It was pretty cool to see this sea and seagull fighting for the fish that the fishermen had just thrown overboard at the Fish Pier In Chatham. They both came at the same time and were determined to get that fish!

I wonder who won? It almost looks like the seagull is taking it right out of the seal’s mouth! It was a lot of fun to watch…
