I love to see the Buffleheads swimming about in the winter here on Cape Cod. They are so distinct with their black and white coloring. I’ve seen many of them at Boat Meadow Creek and at Rock Harbor. They are pretty skittish if they see you or hear you, so it is easier to take a photograph at Rock Harbor where they are further away and there’s some noise about.
This male was flapping his wings as the 2 females swam nearby. There is such a difference between the males and females.
Have you ever seen a Bufflehead? Cool-looking, don’t you think?
It was a gorgeous day for a nice hike at Fort Hill. It was sunny with temps in the 40s but little wind. We had just hiked up to the overlook when this seagull looked as if it was posing on the map of the National Seashore with Nauset Marsh and then Coast Guard Station way in the background.
The slips are still empty at Wellfleet Harbor but not for long as the spring like weather is slowly returning. I really liked this photograph of all of the empty slips with the dock in the background and the blue sky.
The sun was beautiful on the water at Lecount Hollow Beach the other morning. Love how you can see the sun high in the sky and also reflecting on that blue ocean.
So pretty, don’t you think?
