I love it when the birds start migrating back to the Cape for the summer. One of my favorite birds is the Catbird. I saw this Catbird singing away on the prickly vines on the Red Maple Swamp Trail.
Have you seen a Catbird yet this season?

Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod Through The Trees.
The Beech Forest Trail In Provincetown On Cape Cod.
The Beech Forest Trail is one of our favorite trails in Provincetown. No matter what the time of the year, it is always gorgeous. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
There is so much to see and such diversity along the trail. There was a huge tree that was down right beyond these steps. We were happy we didn’t have to go that way.
These funny-shaped trees always make us smile. They remind us of the trees in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, where we used to live. They called them “snow knees” because of the way they grew with all of the snow coming down the mountainside on them.
Fun memories… on a great trail!
High Tide By The Salt Pond In Eastham On Cape Cod.
Looking For Lunch On The Salt Marsh… A Series Of Photographs.
We were taking a hike along the Nauset Marsh Trail past the Salt Pond when we saw this Great Blue Heron in the marsh stalking his prey for his next meal. (Click on blog link for series of photos.)
I thought it would be interesting to post a series of photos as he was so much fun to watch. In photos 2 and 3 you can see him stalking in the wetlands and then darting for the fish.
The 4th photograph shows his total contentment with his satisfying lunch.
And the last photograph shows him flying away…
Still my favorite bird… he’s just gorgeous!
