So Much Erosion At Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod.

Yesterday I took a ride to Nauset Beach and was so surprised to see all of the erosion and destruction from the Nor’easter last weekend. It was incredible! It almost looked like the ocean went right over the dunes into the parking lot. (Click on blog link for a series of other photos.)

The first photograph is of the bench right in the parking lot covered with sand. The 2nd photo is of the beach fence installed to stop dune erosion a couple of years ago. The 3rd photo is of the newer sand fence installed on the dune last fall. You can see the old fence almost buried right next to it on the left.

As I walked onto the beach I could see the bath houses which are almost covered in sand up to the roof. They now look precariously close to the beach. There’s not much of a dune left there.

The last photograph shows the first walkway up to the beach from the parking lot. You can see the handrails are covered in sand. In the top part of the photo you can see all of the sand that has washed over the dune and down toward the parking lot.

It is quite unbelievable at Nauset Beach. Mother Nature sure has her own ideas. It will be interesting to see what the rest of the winter brings…

Winter On Cape Cod Bay.

Yesterday was gorgeous on the beaches on Cape Cod Bay, but treacherous to walk on. The tide was high and moving fast and there were huge ice chunks everywhere.  (Click on blog link for other photo.)

In the first photograph , those 2 bigger “icebergs” on the shore in the distance were about 6+ feet tall. They were huge! In the 2nd photo, the chunks of ice on the grass island were well over 4+ feet tall. Wow!

Beautiful Yellow-Rumped Warbler On Cape Cod.

We’ve had quite a few Yellow-rumped Warblers hanging about in our yard this winter. I have never seen this many in any season, so it’s been a big treat!  This little guy was enjoying a drink at our heated birdbath.

The Yellow-rumped Warbler is usually identified by its bright yellow rump which is most easily seen when it is flying. It also has yellow patches under its wings.

Have you seen any Yellow-rumped Warblers this winter?
