These two Brants were swimming about in Provincetown Harbor looking for food every chance they got! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
A Brant is a small goose with a partial white ring on its black neck. During the winter, their diet consists mostly of eel grass found in the water, thus why they are constantly diving!
I’m sure a lot of people mistake them for a Canada Goose as the coloring is similar, but its that partial ring on its black neck that helps me identify them. Have you seen any Brants this winter?
When I stopped to take the photograph of the Flower Cottages in yesterday’s blog, I walked to the other side of the cottages to see what they could see. It was just beautiful. They are right on the water and beach, with a little rock jetty jutting out in the water of Cape Cod Bay looking toward Provincetown Harbor.
The sun was poking through the clouds and it was just glorious! What a view…
