Baby Blue Jays In Our Yard On Cape Cod.

We’ve never had baby Blue Jays in our yard here on Cape Cod, so it was a real treat to see these little ones being fed by their parents. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

In the first photograph you can see the little one’s excitement waiting for mom to come with some food. Their little wings are going a mile a minute! In the 2nd and 3rd photo, mom is feeding them, and they are ready with their mouths wide open.

The last photo shows their contentment with having been fed. They are way too cute!!

We have so many baby birds in our yard this summer, it is amazing. I have seen baby  Bluebirds, Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles, Red-winged Blackbirds, Finches, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Cardinals, Downy Woodpeckers and Flickers. Maybe we are running a bird nursery here?? 🙂

Bathtime For “Birdie” On Cape Cod!

Our birdbath is very popular here on Cape Cod! There is usually someone taking a drink or someone taking a bath most of the day.  It is a heavy traffic area and so much fun to watch!

Birdie, our “pet name” for the female Cardinal who frequents our feeders and bath, is loving her bath! She was in there splashing around for quite a while.

So cute,  don’t you think?

First Encounter Beach On Cape Cod’s Welcoming Committee!

Whenever I ride my bike down to First Encounter Beach early in the morning, there is always a “Welcoming Committee” of Willetts ready to greet me. They are so many of them… on the First Encounter sign, on the fence, on the fence posts and on the top of the trees. They are all chatting away. There must be 15-20 of them all around. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

The Willett is a  wonderful sign of summer and such a beautiful and social bird!

And so nice to see first thing in the morning!

Chatty Catbirds Are Here On Cape Cod!

I always love it when the Catbirds come back to the Cape for the summer. Everywhere you go, you can here them chattering away. And they are so friendly, you can get pretty close to them.

This guy was singing away up in the tree on the Nauset Marsh Trail. I loved the coloring. What do you think?
