Humongous Osprey Nest On Cape Cod!
Have you ever seen an Osprey nest this big? It looks like an Eagle’s nest! These two Osprey were so busy building their luxury dwelling on top of the pole these past few weeks. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I took this photo a few days ago, so I presume the little ones are up in the nest, although I have not seen them.

Stunning Scarlet Pimpernel Wildflowers At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
The Scarlet Pimpernel growing on the sides of the trail at Fort Hill are absolutely stunning this year! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I have seen a few of them over the years at Fort Hill, but only small, little clumps of them with 2-3 flowers. As you can see in the 2nd photograph, this was a pretty big bush of them.
Two interesting facts that I Iearned: 1. “The Scarlet Pimpernel flowers open only when the sun shines, and even close in overcast conditions.” 2. “If consumed, it can be toxic to livestock and humans. Toxicity level ranges from virtually nontoxic to fatally toxic and appears to correlate with summer rainfall levels.”
