Trying To Get That Perfect Photograph At Nauset Light Beach On Cape Cod!

It was a gorgeous day to take a walk on Nauset Light Beach. As I was clicking away, trying to get that perfect “photo op,” Phil was clicking away too… at me!

I thought this was a fun photograph of me trying to get a fun photograph!

Long-Tailed Duck At Boat Meadow Creek On Cape Cod.

This Long-tailed Duck has been hanging around Boat Meadow Creek for a while. We read that thousands of them had stopped off on the Cape with the last couple of storms. This is the first one that I have ever seen.

A Long-tailed Duck is a small diving duck which has a dark brown back and a white head with a large black cheek patch. It spends the longest time under water relative to its time on the surface. They can dive to depths of 200 feet. Pretty cool, huh?

Have you ever seen a Long-tailed Duck?
