I was looking for a good photo-op of this Red-Breasted Merganser at Rock Harbor. Just as he was swimming by, I clicked and he took off.
Beautiful bird, don’t you think?

It Was LOW Tide Yesterday At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod!
Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous here on Cape Cod! We decided that a morning walk on Coast Guard Beach would be the perfect way to spend Easter Sunday. Were we in for a treat! (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
The tide was so low that the flats down by Nauset Spit went on for miles! Phil took this pano as we stood way out on one of the flats looking back toward the beach. That’s me in the photo on the right with Coast Guard Station way in the distance. On the left is Nauset Spit. So cool, don’t you think?
We’ve never seen the tide this low at Coast Guard Beach. There were numerous sandbars that we had never seen before either. What a perfect way to spend Easter… walking on the beach on such a glorious day!

Awesome Kite Surfing At First Encounter Beach On Cape Cod!
Yesterday was the first sunny day in a while so we packed a picnic lunch to have in the car and decided to drive to First Encounter Beach as we thought it might be really pretty there. Were we in for a treat! (Click on blog link for more photos.)
As we drove in, we could see the colorful kites way up in the sky. It was really windy and the kite surfers were all out on the water. It was beautiful to watch them surfing back and forth along the beach with their multi-colored kites. Look at that surfer above jump high off a wave! Wow!
The photo above reminds me of one of those hot air balloon festivals!
So cool, don’t you think?
Lots Of Debris On Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod Last Weekend.
When we went for a walk on Coast Guard Beach on Tuesday of this week, we were surprised at the amount of debris that had gotten washed up on the beach during the storm the weekend before. You can see some of the large items on the beach. The beach is strewn with old trees, limbs and branches all the way down.
In my post earlier this week, I thought that the debris was from the dunes, but in walking down the beach it was apparent that it had all gotten washed up during the storm. Even the area marked off for the Piping Plovers had washed away, the tide had been so high.
If you do take a walk on the beach, take in mind that the tides have been very high and you might not be able to walk very far at high tide.
