Phil and I were having a picnic breakfast at the overlook at Fort Hill yesterday morning when he commented, “I can’t believe we haven’t seen any Egrets yet this year, not even on the salt marsh.” I said, “It is strange because people are posting photos of them.”
Less than a minute later, 6 Egrets flew in and landed at a little pond right in front of us on Nauset Marsh… unbelievable! There were 3 Great Egrets and 3 Snowy Egrets. Wow!
I quickly got out of the car and walked part way down toward the salt marsh and took a few photographs. I didn’t want to scare them away. So cool….
Wishing you all a Happy Easter and hoping you get to see something special today too!
Wellfleet Harbor is a great place to visit and take photographs any time of the year. I really liked the simplicity of this photograph with the seagull flying in and the lone fishing boat at the dock.
It’s hard to believe that this was the path to Coast Guard Beach just two years ago. The drop-off now is just incredible which is why the National Seashore made a new path to the beach down the road a bit.
The moorings are back in the water at Arey’s Pond and soon the boats will be launched and ready to go. It is such an exciting time at Arey’s Pond for all those who have a sailboat there. Pretty soon it will be warm enough to motor down the river and enjoy a wonderful sail!
Yesterday was a rainy morning when we went for a “car picnic” at Boat Meadow Beach. It was raining pretty hard, but still so pretty. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
All of a sudden a car drove up and a lady pulled two cages out of the back of her car. It looked like Wild Care was going to release a bird on the beach. I didn’t get to speak with her as the raindrops were coming down pretty fast.
We watched as she carried the cages to the beach and released one seagull and then another. We watched them saunter around the beach and then both fly off. Wow!
Wild Care Cape Cod is amazing. The work they do to rehabilitate birds and animals is incredible and so wonderful to see their releases back into the wild.
Kudos to Wild Cape Cape Cod! We are all so fortunate to have you so close by!
