Perfect Day For Paddle-Boarding At Nauset Marsh.
209 views
Yesterday was a beautiful day for a hike at Fort Hill… the sun was shining and the winds were quiet. We had gone out to see whatever there was to see in nature, but these two paddle boarders caught my eye. They must have launched at Nauset Marsh pretty early as they were almost out to the outer beaches. What amazed me was the expansiveness of Nauset Marsh and how tiny these two looked…
Two Perspectives At Nauset Marsh… Which One Do You Like Better?
295 viewsIt sure feels like fall at Hemenway Landing. You can see the grass on the Nauset Marsh starting to turn brown. But the flowers are still blooming and the kayaks are still there, hoping for a few more warm days. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I took two different perspectives at the same location… which one do you like better?

Egret Convention At Nauset Marsh… And Then There Were None.
246 viewsIt sure looked like an Egret Convention at Nauset Marsh the other day. I counted over 50 of them on the mud flats. I hadn’t seen more than a few together this summer, so this was a big treat! Were they getting ready to migrate? (Click on blog link for other photos.)
And then I watched as these 2 paddle boarders paddled straight out and, unfortunately, got too close to them.
And, of course, the Egrets all flew away. Hmmm…

Raccoon Tracks In The Mud On Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.
342 viewsIt was low tide when Phil and I took a walk from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach. When we stopped over the bridge to photograph some shorebirds foraging around in the mudflats of Nauset Marsh, I noticed these tracks in the mud under the bridge. What animal had made them? Hmmmm…
When I got home, I got my Animal Tracks book out and did a little research. Were they raccoon tracks? That was my best guess with those long toes.
I texted my friend, Stephanie who is the Executive Director at Wild Care Cape Cod and asked her for her expertise. Yes, in fact, it was a raccoon who made those tracks. Thank you, Stephanie! You came to my rescue… again! I wonder what that raccoon was looking for…
Wild Care is a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation center on Cape Cod that rescues, treats, and releases sick, injured or orphaned animals.
