You can tell where the turtle nests are at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary by the little cages around them and the blue flag. The species in each cage is also identified. I saw some Painted Turtle cages and some Diamondback Terrapin nests.
It will be very interesting when the little ones hatch and try to make it back to the waters of Cape Cod Bay. I remember last year seeing some of them which the volunteers had collected to help them on their way and they were tiny, only about an inch.
Have you seen the nest cages at the Sanctuary? Or anywhere else?
This is such a typical photograph of early morn on Cape Cod Bay at low tide. No one around and the boats look like they are sleeping on the sand. I took this photograph at Boat Meadow Beach on one of my early bike rides.
When you think of Rock Harbor, you always think of the channel and the iconic markers leading out to the bay.
I stopped at Rock Harbor the other day just for a minute nand the view from Rock Harbor…the other way… was spectacular! You can see the “rock” in the distance with Wellfleet way beyond. The 2 beach chairs belonged to a couple who were most certainly enjoying the gorgeous day!
I loved this photograph of all of the colorfully patriotic boats at Rock Harbor ready to go, waiting for the tide to come in enough so they could go out.
Boat Meadow Beach is always my first stop on my daily 6am bike ride. It is so beautiful and one of my favorite places after riding over the salt marsh to the beach. You never know what you are going to see.
This morning I was treated to a Great Blue Heron searching for breakfast in the shallow waters at low tide. I clicked as he walked along the shore. And then I couldn’t decide which photograph I like best.
