It’s been a very chilly week here on Cape Cod with more snow expected this afternoon. The wind chill for tomorrow is supposed to be in the single digits. Brrr!
There is quite a bit of ice on Boat Meadow Creek. I really like the circular patterns of snow on the ice. So pretty…
This was such a pretty sunset at Boat Meadow Beach where you can see the reflection of the sun on the water. Winters here on Cape Cod always have such beautiful sunsets.
It’s been a really foggy week here on the Cape. Yesterday the fog would roll in and you couldn’t see a thing. And then an hour later it would dissipate.
I took a walk to Boat Meadow Beach after lunch and it was still pretty foggy there. I looked at my photos when I got home and I really liked this one. A bit eerie, don’t you think?
There have been quite a few Greater Yellowlegs hanging out at Boat Meadow Beach, scurrying about on the flats looking for food. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
“During winter and migration, small fish, crustaceans, snails, and other aquatic animals round out their diet.”
Did you know that the Greater Yellowlegs, which is named for their long, bright yellow legs, bobs the front half of its body up and down?
Yesterday we were having our picnic lunch at Boat Meadow when I looked at my side window and there was a little Egret that had just landed between the cars. He was just adorable.
I quickly got my camera but only got one click. This is it!
I’ve never had an Egret so close to me. He was no farther than 4 feet away. He looked up at me for a few seconds and probably realized where he was and flew away.
What a fun experience!
