It’s that time of year when everything is blooming and the trails at Fort Hill are lush. My favorite hike there is the Red Maple Swamp Trail which takes you down to the boardwalk. Have you ever hiked it?

This photo popped up on my FB page and I thought it was so cool. I remember when they had to keep moving the life guard chairs back because the water kept getting higher and higher and they ended up on the newly exposed bog. This photo was taken from the old path to the beach which now a 20+ feet dune! Mother Nature does amazing things!

We saw several Piping Plovers at Coast Guard Beach the other day when we went for a walk, but we didn’t see any little chicks. This one was scurrying about up and down the beach. We wondered if it was trying to distract us from a chick nearby.

The Noisy Willets At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

I love it when the Willets come back for the summer.  They are so noisy and so much fun to watch as they do their acrobatics in the sky. They are known for their distinct, noisy “pill-will-willet” song.

You can always see one, or two, or more along the fence posts at Fort Hill. This guy was just yacking away!

Stunning Bald Eagle On Cape Cod.

We had just started out on a hike when I looked up and saw this gorgeous Bald Eagle soaring above. Wow! ( Click on blog link for other photos.)

I’ve only seen a couple of them on Cape Cod, so this was a big treat! As we hiked around the pond, I was hoping to see it again. And there it was, way up high in the tree, overlooking the pond.

You can see how far away he was in the last photo which I took from across the pond. If you look very closely at the tallest tree to the right, you can see his silhouette. So cool!
