We were driving home from Provincetown late yesterday afternoon when I noticed the sky was was so pretty. As we passed the lookout toward Silver Spring Harbor in Wellfleet where you used to be able to see The Target Ship way out there, I quickly grabbed my phone, opened the window and clicked. This is what I got. Really pretty, don’t you think?

Lots Of Ice On Cape Cod Bay.
201 viewsWhat a cold and windy winter we’ve had so far here on the Cape… with lots of wind chills in the teens. I took a ride to Boat Meadow Beach yesterday afternoon and was surprised to see so much ice on Cape Cod Bay.
With the forecast for windchills below zero on Saturday and the possibility of a huge snowstorm on Sunday and into Monday, it will be interesting to see what Cape Cod Bay looks like next week!
Beautiful Ring-Necked Ducks at Wiley Park On Cape Cod.
201 viewsThere was a large flock of about 20 Ring-necked Ducks on Great Pond at Wiley Park the other day. They were just gorgeous!
We saw a lot of these ducks out in Colorado way up high on a pond in the Rocky Mountains, so it’s always a treat to see them here too.
Ring-necked Ducks are medium diving ducks that have a blue-gray bill with a white ring and a black tip. I always wondered why they aren’t called “Ring-billed Ducks.”
Beautiful bird, don’t you think? Have you ever seen a Ring-necked Duck?

Mystery On The Road To Boat Meadow Beach On Cape Cod.
619 viewsEvery time I walk to Boat Meadow Beach in the off-season when the leaves are off of the trees, I see these piles of broken clam shells scattered on the ground under the bushes and trees. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
But, I’ve never seen a seagull, or any bird, or any animal anywhere near here. Obviously, someone must sit in the top of the tree and eat their cracked clams and drop the shells on the ground below. Can you see the pile in the leaves? It’s a pretty good size stash. Has anyone else ever seen any “suspicious” activity in this area?
Still Some Ice At Wiley Park On Cape Cod.

I was surprised to still see some ice on Great Pond while hiking at Wiley Park yesterday morning. With the warmer temperatures the past few days, I thought it would all be melted. You can see the Ring-necked Ducks in the distance, but they couldn’t get close to shore with the ice.
I bet after today with temps in the 20s and wind chills in the teens, they’ll be a lot more ice!
