Beautiful Surf Scoter At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

273 views

We took a walk on Coast Guard Beach the other day, hoping to see some Piping Plovers, but there were none to be found. But, we did see this little flock of blackish-colored birds out in the water. Hmmmm… I wonder what they were.

We zoomed in and took some photographs and then put them on our iPhone Sleuth app and learned they were Surf Scoters.

“The Surf Scoter is a large sea duck native to North America. Adult males are almost entirely black with characteristic white patches on the forehead and the nape and adult females are slightly smaller and browner. Surf scoters breed in Northern Canada and Alaska and winter along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of North America.” Pretty soon, they’ll be heading back up to Canada and Alaska!

There are so many different varieties of hikes at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. When the sun is shining and the tide is low, heading out to the beach across the boardwalk is so pretty and a perfect hike. You never know what little creatures you might see on the mudflats,  or what birds you might see at the beach. Always an adventure!

We were surprised to see so many surfers yesterday morning at Coast guard Beach. It was a beautiful, chilly, breezy day but the tides were just right and those surfers were sure enjoying some time out on the water! (Click on blog link for other photos.)

We hadn’t seen surfers at the beach in quite a while, so this was a big treat. Phil, who surfed quite a bit when he was younger, was loving watching them ride the waves.

It’s vacation week here in MA, so maybe you can enjoy some time at the beach and see some of these enthusiastic and dedicated surfers out on the water just having some fun!

It was a gorgeous day and perfect for a hike along the Nauset Marsh Trail, when this wild turkey appeared on the trail. He was hiking along, just like us.  He looked at us and we looked at him and we all continued along down the trail. So cute! You never know who you will meet along the trails of Cape Cod!

There have been so many new renovations at Kent’s  Point, it’s hard to count them all. The last time we were there we noticed these new steps leading up from the beach to the trail. What a great addition, as it’s always been a huge step to maneuver to get up there. Thanks to all who have helped with these wonderful renovations! You certainly are enhancing these trails!
