If you want to see “Cape Cod dunes,” White Crest Beach is the place to go. The dunes are huge and just magnificent. You can see that steep path down to the water. And look at those views!
Not too many people this time of the year… so peaceful.

Beautiful White-Winged Scoter At Boat Meadow Creek on Cape Cod.
I had noticed some new shore birds swimming about Boat Meadow Creek, so we went over to investigate. There were quite a few sea birds in the creek so I got my camera out and just clicked away. When I got home and put them up on my computer, I realized that I had gotten photos of 4 different kids of sea birds. This first one is the White-winged Scoter.
The White-winged Scoter is a medium-sized duck, which is mostly black with white eye patches and large white wing patches. The male has a red, yellow and orange bill with a small black know while the female has a dark gray bill with a small know. This looks like a female.
We have read about so many different kinds of birds that have been sighted so far this winter on Cape Cod, it will be fun to try to find them. Have you ever seen a White-winged Scoter?
