I loved this photograph of this flowering tree on the trail by Nauset Marsh. So pretty with the marsh and the water in the background.

Such a pretty flower…

When you go for a walk early enough on Coast Guard Beach, you may be the only one there! Love the clouds in the photograph!

What do you think?

Hemenway Landing is a great launching spot if you want to paddle Nauset Marsh. These kayaks were all lined up and ready to go!

Such a pretty day… and the waters were calm.

Western Sandpipers On Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

August 12, 2021 Mel 1 Comment

Phil and I were taking a walk on Coast Guard Beach the other day when I saw three birds scurrying along the water’s edge. At first I thought they must be Piping Plovers, but the color was off. I took a few photographs and did a little research when I got home. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

They were Western Sandpipers which are pretty cool to see around here. They breed in northern Alaska and then migrate south through the mid-western states and along the coast of the eastern states.

Have you ever seen a Western Sandpiper? This was my 2nd time as we saw some on Cape Cod Bay early last summer.
