Red-Tailed Hawk Is Back Building His Nest In Our Yard On Cape Cod!

What a thrill it was to see the Red-tailed Hawk sitting in a tree in our backyard with a branch in his mouth… and then flying up to the tall pine tree where his nest was last year. It was sooo cool!

We have seen him many times in the past couple of days working on his nest. And then we were wondering… is it the parents that had the nest there last year or is it the baby who has come back?

(Remember the baby who cried incessantly for the first few months of his life? )

Maybe as we see him more we can figure out who it is…

Black And White Photograph Of The Boardwalk At Fort Hill On Cape Cod

We took  this black and white photograph of the boardwalk on Red Maple Swamp Trail the same time we took the photograph of the Fort Hill Trail yesterday.

It’s really cool how you walk on the boardwalk over the swamp on the trail. This time of year it is pretty wet and definitely swampy!

It’s another cool hike at Fort Hill! Kids love it!

 

Winter Kite Surfing On Cape Cod Bay

It was a windy day and there were plenty of kite surfers out enjoying the perfect windy conditions. This kite surfer was in the salt marsh that was flooded at high tide. He was really enjoying himself.

Love how he caught the wind and was airborne. Cool, don’t you think?

It seems like the clouds in so many of my recent posts have been unbelievable… just spectacular! Wonder if it’s the winter clouds?
