We headed out to the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary early yesterday morning to see what birds were out on the beach, as it was soon to be low tide. We were not disappointed!
Looking for food in the tidal pools was a Black-Bellied Plover and he was beautiful! We spoke to one of the volunteers and she said that this bird was just coming into his plumage.
Beautiful bird, don’t you think?
It was such a treat to see this beautiful Summer Tanager at our bird feeder the other morning. We’ve only seen one in our yard a couple of years ago and it then only stayed for a few minutes. This Summer Tanager stayed for three days.
I wonder where he goes for the rest of the summer? Gorgeous bird, don’t you think?
Many thanks to Stephanie, Executive Director at Wild Care, for correctly identifying this as a Summer Tanager. Thank you, Stephanie!
This Great Blue Heron was patiently standing on the log at Goose Pond at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, waiting for his next meal. (Click on Blog link if you can’t get the entire photograph.)
I loved the reflections of the Great Blue Heron, the driftwood, and the reeds on the water. The water looks almost mystical…
What do you think?
