First Eastern Phoebe For Us On Cape Cod.

We haven’t seen an Eastern Phoebe since we moved to Cape Cod six years ago until… one flew onto the fence right in front of our car by the river the other morning.

My motto has always been, “Don’t leave home without your camera!” Well, I left home without my camera and here was my first Eastern Phoebe. So, I took this photograph with my iPhone. I’ve gone back several times with my camera but to no avail… he keeps hiding in the trees, probably to spite me and my forgetting my camera!

 

Cute Little Piping Plover At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

This photograph of the Piping Plover got lost in the shuffle last summer when I was posting bird photos. I thought it was so cute.

Love the blue, blue sky and him looking out fromĀ  the top of the little dune at Coast Guard Beach. What do you think?

Cute Little Sanderlings Flitting About On Nauset Light Beach On Cape Cod.

It was a gorgeous day to take a walk on Nauset Light Beach and so windy! I walked down the beach toward Marconi and then just decided to sit in the sand and just enjoy the moment… or two…or three… (Click on blog link for other photographs.)

And then I saw these little Sanderlings scurrying along the beach right in front of me. I got my camera out and clicked away. I have not seen any Sanderlings all summer, so this was a big treat.

Such a cute little bird, don’t you think? Keep a lookout on the beaches as they often with spend the winter here.
