There always seems to be a lot of Sanderlings scurrying about the beach at low tide. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I really liked the little flock all facing the same direction…. Except one! What do you think?

Cape Cod Is Home To The Largest Tidal Flats In North America.
269 viewsDid 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!

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

It was a gorgeous day for a walk on Coast Guard Beach. We lucked out as the tide was going out, so we could walk all the way down the spit. We were so surprised to see so many sandbars, and big sandbars, all along the shore. Have been to Coast Guard Beach lately?
Fun-looking Jetboards On Cape Cod Bay.
257 viewsWe stopped at the beach the other day just to sit on the bench and enjoy a beautiful summer afternoon on the Cape. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
There were these two “jetboards” that were on shore ready to be taken out. We had never seen one before, so this was really cool! They are run by batteries and controlled by a hand-held device. You can see how they can elevate themselves in the water. Wow! Have you ever seen one of these new Jetboards?
