When I bike to First Encounter Beach early in the morning, I am always so focused on the beach and the water. And then I turned around and saw this. It was so pretty. What do you think?

The Willets On Cape Cod Are Chatty And Abundant!
You know when the Willets have come back to Cape Cod in the spring. They are loud and chatty and their calls fill the air. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
When standing still, the Willets are a grey color, but when they open their wings, they are spectacular with black and white wings.
They remind me of those lawn ornaments when they are flying, where the black and white wings start going round and round in the wind.
“An unmistakable voice, combining the insistent petulance of a hungry chipmunk with the lyrical rhythms of a whip-poor-will.” Have you seen or heard the Willets this year?
Look Where The Osprey Built Their New Nest Here On Cape Cod!
I posted a blog a few weeks ago about these 2 Ospreys that had been evicted from their annual nesting spot by the utility company. For days and even weeks, the two Ospreys sat sadly atop that utility pole looking about. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
A couple of days ago, I was driving home from Rock Harbor when I looked up and saw a massive Osprey nest on top of this dead tree. What a perfect spot for a nest… right next to the salt marsh where lots of food can be found! I sure hope it’s those two Ospreys because they found an awesome place to build their new nest and raise their young.
Lots More Pilings At Rock Harbor On Cape Cod.
There are lots of new pilings at Rock Harbor and so much activity. I took this photo from the Eastham side with the pretty reflection. It will be interesting to see what it looks like when all the boats are back and all the work is done!
Can you see the new Osprey nest that was erected? It has 2 new Osprey who have built a nest and settled in.
