My First Cedar Waxwing At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
We used to see Cedar Waxwings frequently when we lived in Connecticut, but I had never seen one at Fort Hill until this guy caught the corner of my eye the other day. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
“Cedar Waxwings are pale brown on the head and chest fading to soft gray on the wings. The belly is pale yellow, and the tail is gray with a bright yellow tip. The face has a narrow black mask neatly outlined in white. The red waxy tips to the wing feathers are not always easy to see.”
Love that black mask… he doesn’t look too happy to see me! Ha!
Seal Islands At Coast Guard Beach And Nauset Spit On Cape Cod.
When it’s low tide on Coast Guard Beach, there are a couple of sandbars that huge groups of seals like to monopolize. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see them lazing around and picking their heads up every once in a while making their distinct wailing noise. Have you seen them at Coast Guard Beach? There sure are lots of them!
