Did you know that the tidal flats in Massachusetts are the largest tidal flats in North America? They span up to 12,000 acres and stretch nearly 10 miles along Cape Cod Bay from Brewster to Eastham.  At low tide, the water recedes up to two miles offshore, exposing vast sandbars, tidal pools, and intricate marine ecosystems. Wow!

We love to stop at this boat launch that overlooks Pleasant Bay as there is always something interesting to see whether it be birds, boats, wildlife, or anything. The water was so calm this day that the reflection of the dock was  just beautiful. What do you think?

Raccoon Tracks In The Mud On Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.

It was low tide when Phil and I took a walk from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach. When we stopped over the bridge to photograph some shorebirds foraging around in the mudflats of Nauset Marsh, I noticed these tracks in the mud under the bridge. What animal had made them? Hmmmm…

When I got home, I got my Animal Tracks book out and did a little research. Were they raccoon tracks? That was my best guess with those long toes.

I texted my friend, Stephanie who is the Executive Director at Wild Care Cape Cod and asked her for her expertise.  Yes, in fact, it was a raccoon who made those tracks. Thank you, Stephanie! You came to my rescue… again! I wonder what that raccoon was looking for…

Wild Care is a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation center on Cape Cod that rescues, treats, and releases sick, injured or orphaned animals.
