We woke up yesterday morning expecting beautiful sunshine but instead saw dense fog and no sun. Where did that come from? (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We decided to take a drive to Fort Hill to see what it looked like there. It was still very foggy and a bit eerie but also very interesting. It looked like all along the shores of Nauset Marsh that someone had turned the sprinklers on. It was really cool. Can you see the water shooting out?
We sat there for quite a while taking photographs as the fog rolled in and out. It actually turned out to be a lot of fun watching the minute-by-minute changing landscape.
There are lots of Mockingbirds at Fort Hill this season and they sure do love to pose to have their picture taken! This guy sat on top of the branch near the beginning of the trail for quite a while as we clicked away. So many poses…
Gorgeous bird, don’t you think? Have you seen any Mockingbirds this year?
I saw my first Red-winged Blackbird of the season yesterday morning at Fort Hill. I love it when they arrive in March as it signals that spring is just about here!
This guy was singing away on top of the branch way out in the meadow. As soon as you hear their sound, “Cuck-a-ree,” you know you made it through the winter.
Welcome back, Red-winged Blackbirds!
