The Piping Plover Chicks On Cape Cod Grow So Fast!

Leave a comment

We couldn’t believe how big the little Piping Plover chicks had gotten in the past couple of weeks. It is amazing how fast they grow. We saw this one, as well as many other babies, at Coast Guard Beach.

Beautiful little birds, don’t you think?

My granddaughter counted 55 seals in the video I sent her of the seals at Coast Guard Beach. That sure seems like a lot! (Click on blog link for other photo.)

I loved this guy, taking a nap with everyone else around him. Too funny, don’t you think?

Unusual Harlequin Duck At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

2 Comments

We were so surprised when we saw this Harlequin Duck on Coast Guard Beach the other day. It seemed happiest out of the water on the sand, but every time someone walked by on the beach, it would scoot back in the water. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

We had never seen a Harlequin Duck before. In looking at a map of its range, Harlequin Ducks are usually seen here more in the winter or in the early spring.

I loved this last photograph as it was trying to dry off and walk along the beach. Such a treat to see this duck but also hope that it gets where it is going soon!
