It seems like we spend the last part of the winter waiting patiently for our favorite birds to return for the new season. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We saw a few Piping Plovers scurrying about the beach the other day. They were down by the water and up high on the beach running in and out of the seaweed. We didn’t see any babies… maybe it’s still a bit early. We didn’t see any nests either, but they are usually well hidden.
It was a gorgeous day for a walk on Coast Guard Beach, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It is amazing how the coastline can change in just a few weeks. You can see a new little “bay” has formed as you walk down toward Nauset Spit.
We’ve had quite a winter and early spring of exceptionally high tides… or is this the new normal? Coast Guard Beach certainly is gorgeous anytime of the day, any time of the year!
There were a couple of kite surfers at Coast Guard Beach the other day, enjoying that brisk wind and somewhat warm temps. The sun was shining brightly and they looked like they were loving it!
