We saw this Coyote out in the meadow at Fort Hill. It must have been stalking its prey, as it didn’t move a muscle the whole time we watched him and that was quite a while!

The Monarch Butterflies Are Back At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
The Monarch butterflies are back on Cape Cod and they are gorgeous! We’ve seen quite a few at Fort Hill in the past couple of days.
This Monarch flitted from flower to flower right near us so we were able to get some good photographs. The Milkweed isn’t in bloom yet, but they seemed to really like the purple Vetch wildflower.
Have you seen any Monarchs yet this season? What a treat!
Red Sand Spurrey Wildflowers Blooming On The Trails At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
If you’re hiking the main trails at Fort Hill and look down very carefully, you may see a tiny, little purple wildflower that is no more than 1/8 inch in diameter. It is itty, bitty and easy to miss… or step on. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
The Red Sand Spurrey thrives in sandy, disturbed soil. This is a first for me. Have you ever seen one?
Quick, Little Weasel On The Trail At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
We were taking a hike at Fort Hill the other day when we saw a little Vole scampering down the middle of the trail out by the meadow. And then, as quick as anything, this little Weasel darted out of the underbrush and dragged the Vole back in. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
This Weasel smacked the Vole a few times and then came out onto the trail to check us out. We just clicked away.
It was a pretty cool experience as it happened so fast and we had never seen a Weasel at Fort Hill before. Have you?
Beautiful Spring Azure Butterfly At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
The Spring Azure is among the first butterflies of the year. Its early spring appearance helps to identify this species. The undersides of the wings are pale gray to whitish, with small dark spots while outer sides are a light blue. Such a pretty, little butterfly…
Wishing you all a Happy Mother’s Day! May you find something new or special outside in nature today!
