It was low tide and just gorgeous in the early morning at first Encounter Beach on Cape Cod. Such peace and solitude… not a soul in sight.
The Red-Winged Blackbirds Love Our Feeders On Cape Cod!
We were so surprised last spring to see the Red-winged Blackbirds come into our yard and eat from the bird feeders. I always thought that they only lived by the water and the marsh. I had no idea they frequented people’s yards. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
They always give a call from a nearby tree to let us know that they are coming by. It is really cool. I love their call, “Conk-a-ree!” It is so distinctive. Have you ever heard their call?
The female Red-winged Blackbird is totally different in her coloring, as you can see in this photo of her at the feeder. Isn’t she gorgeous?
Beautiful Little Copper Butterfly On Cape Cod.
The butterflies are starting to migrate back to Cape Cod this time of the year. It’s so much fun to see a couple of new ones each day. This Little Copper Butterfly was feasting on the flowers at Fort Hill. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
The Little Copper butterfly is a small butterfly with a wing span of only about 1″. Its fiery tones are just gorgeous among the white flowers. You can see the difference in coloring in the 2nd photograph when its wings are folded up.
Beautiful little butterfly, don’t you think?
