Baby Bluebird Taking A Bath At Our Bird Bath On Cape Cod.

This little Bluebird was so cute! He landed on the little bird bath and got a drink of water. Then he looked around for a bit before he waded in the water and decided to take a bath. So adorable! (Click on blog link for other photos.)

I wonder if it was his first bath?

He looked so proud of himself when he was all done!

Unusual Harlequin Duck At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

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!

Beautiful Early Morning Reflection On The Salt Marsh On Cape Cod…. But Wait!

I was biking across the salt marsh about 6:30 in the morning when I stopped to take a photograph of the sun’s reflection on the creek. It was so pretty. It looked like a cloudy day with the sun breaking through just a bit. (Click on the blog link to see other photo.)

But wait! I turned around and took another photograph of the salt marsh looking out toward Cape Cod Bay. What a different photograph! The blue skies are sunny with beautiful clouds.

Same day, same place, same time, different direction. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
