Pretty Soon The Crowds Will Be Here On Cape Cod.

Those of us who are fortunate to live here on the Cape full-time relish those quiet walks on the beach and the solitude of being the only footprints in the sand.

Pretty soon, Coast Guard Beach will be full of activity. But, until then…. Enjoy this gorgeous view!

 

Very Rare Snow Geese At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

I had read on the Cape Cod Birders FB page about two Snow Geese that had been sighted at Fort Hill, so we went to investigate. These birds are very rare in this area. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

Out in the meadow were the two Snow Geese mingling with the Canada Geese that have been here all winter. They were pretty far out there but still easy to identify.

For many birders this is a “lifer,” but I had seen three of them a few years ago on a walk in my neighborhood. It was so strange in that I did not have my camera with me and the weather was so bad that it took me a week to walk by again. And there they still were… and I was fortunate to have my camera in hand.

Beautiful LeCount Hollow Beach On Cape Cod.

It was a beautiful day at LeCount Hollow Beach in Wellfleet with the ocean a dark, midnight blue. There was still a path down the dunes to the beach, even though there had been some erosion of the beach over the winter. Always beautiful and still accessible!
