The Trail To Nauset Beach On Cape Cod.

It was a beautiful day, so I ran up the trail to get a photo of Nauset Beach. I knew it would be spectacular. But, on the way up the path, I noticed that the handrails and the fence were only about 12″ off of the ground. Had that much sand blown in over the winter? Or maybe they trucked in sand to build up the dunes because of erosion and that had blown onto the trail?

 

 

Lots Of Uncommon Shore Birds On Cape Cod Bay!

We’ve had some beautiful days here on Cape Cod the past couple of weeks, so we got our binoculars and headed to Boat Meadow Beach to see if there were any shore birds around. From the car we couldn’t see much so we thought it would be fun to walk over to Rock Harbor via the flats. Were we in for a treat!

There were shore birds everywhere on the flats searching for food. We got our cameras out and clicked away, hoping for that special photo op. It wasn’t until we got home and looked on the computer that we saw some birds that we had never seen before. In this frame you can see a White-rumped Sandpiper, a Semipalmated Plover and a Western Sandpiper. We had never seen the White-rumped Sandpiper or the Western Sandpiper before.

How cool is that?

Gorgeous Day For A Walk On A Cape Cod Beach.

It was a beautiful day for a walk on any Cape Cod Beach. We took advantage of the warm weather, sunny skies and low tides and headed out to Nauset Light Beach for an early morning walk. (Click on blog link for full photo.)

It doesn’t get much prettier…
