Our Bird Feeders Were Packed Full During The Blizzard On Cape Cod

There was a waiting line at our bird feeders during the blizzard this past weekend. I’ve never seen so many hungry birds! You would think that they would hunker down and stay deep in the trees, but they were much more inclined to sit on the bird feeders for hours braving the snow and 60 mph winds!

The first photograph is of one of the feeders filled with Goldfinches. The second one is of our friendly Red-Bellied Woodpecker waiting on the tree as he scouts a place to feed on the suet. And the last photograph is of a variety of birds looking for the leftover seeds in the snow.

Boy, are they brave little birds! It was quite a storm… we lost two 80+ foot Eastern White Pine trees. What a sound they made when they came down!

Yellow-Rumped Warblers At Our Bird Bath On Cape Cod

We had quite a few Yellow-Rumped Warblers in our yard the other day. They were dining on the berries on the bushes and drinking from our bird bath.

I have never seen a Yellow-Rumped Warbler here before. We used to see many of them out in Colorado.

In looking at by Sibley bird book, they are uncommon in this area at this time of the year but are sometimes seen in groups, such as we saw. Maybe they are starting to migrate north to be there for the spring?

 

Gorgeous Trail To Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod

It was another beautiful day for a hike to Coast Guard Beach  on the National Seashore on Cape Cod. The clouds were unbelievable! With the Coast Guard Station in the background and Nauset Marsh, it doesn’t get much prettier!

Phil and I took the same photograph… same place, same time., different perspective. What do you think?
