Meet Ed, Our Resident House Finch Here On Cape Cod

We have had this little House Finch hanging out at our bird feeder all summer. He comes in the morning and stays for a few hours, then comes back at lunch and stays for most of the afternoon, just sitting at the bird feeder. Sometimes he faces in when he is eating and sometimes he just sits there facing out, watching all of  the action around him. He is quite endearing. And he stays forever!

Having been a Special Ed teacher for 25+ years, I knew there is something very special about this little Finch. When he flies, he spirals and zig zags instead of flying straight. When he is ready to land, he doesn’t quite know where to land…sometimes trying to land on a leaf and sometimes just falling until he catches himself. He is quite unique and adorable!

So, Phil and I named him “Ed,”  because he is very special. We spend many hours watching him and are just happy that he found a safe place to hang out with an unlimited amount of birdseed. And… a nice little bird bath to take a drink or splash around. We even got a heater for the birdbath so the birds can use it all year round!

I just wanted you to meet “Ed.” He is just precious and “one of the family!” We hope he stays with us all winter!

 

First Encounter Beach On Cape Cod At Low Tide

It was a beautiful day to take a walk on First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod. The tides were low so you could walk way out on the flats.

First Encounter Beach is a place with historic significance. It was so named because it is the site of the first encounter between Native Americans and the Pilgrims prior to their settling in Plymouth.

Have you ever been to First Encounter Beach? So Pretty!

Chatham Lighthouse On A Windy Day

The flag was blowing at Chatham Lighthouse the other day. And the sky was blue, blue,  blue! What a beautiful day to photograph Chatham Light.

Chatham Light signals boats off of Chatham and Chatham Bar. The building to the right is the Coast Guard Station will go to action when boats are in distress. This is the station that was featured in the Disney movie, The Finest Hours, which is about the the most daring rescue mission in the history of the  Coast Guard.

Nauset Light and the CG Station are a must to see if you are ever on Cape Cod. The views are spectacular!

And if you haven’t seen The Finest Hours, make sure you see it too. The story is unbelievable!
