This was such a low tide at Uncle Tim’s Bridge in Wellfleet.
“Uncle Tim’s Bridge was established in 1783, when it was first named ” The New Bridge”. Uncle Tim’s Bridge crosses Duck Creek and connects Hamblen Island to the central village of Wellfleet. In the 1800s Timothy E. Daniels, known as Uncle Tim, had a retail shop located right across from the bridge which bears his name to this day. Uncle Tim’s Bridge is listed on the State Historic Register.”
There is a small parking lot nearby so you can take the .5 mile walk out to the island for some spectacular views.
I remember growing up in Connecticut and seeing Eastern Towhees everywhere. My Dad taught me at a very early age to recognize them by their song, “Drink your tea!” (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I had seen an Eastern Towhee only one other time here on the Cape in the past few years so I was delighted to see this little guy foraging around in our yard.
The Eastern Towhee is a large sparrow with black upper parts, hood and upper breast, rufous-colored flanks, and white underparts. It forages on the ground and in low vegetation for insects, acorns, seeds and berries. You won’t see him at your feeder.
Yesterday morning when we woke up, we could hear the roaring of the ocean waves from our home on the bay side in Eastham. I had never heard it so loud! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
I just had to take a drive down to Nauset Beach to see what was making all of that noise. What a treat!
Nauset Beach was cranking! The waves were big and plentiful and just gorgeous to watch.
While hiking on the Nauset Marsh Trail, we always pass this little pond past the overlook. We haven’t stopped there in a while because I never think it is a good photo op.
And then Phil stopped there a few days ago to check it out and this is what we saw… so pretty looking out toward Nauset Marsh, don’t you think?
The past few days have been incredibly windy here on Cape Cod. I took a walk at Wiley Park yesterday and I couldn’t believe how many white caps there were out on Great Pond! Wow!
They were just rolling into shore…
