This Juvenile Bald Eagle was enjoying a fresh fish meal on this vacant Osprey platform overlooking the salt marsh.
I took a “double take” when we drove by this “nesting” platform and saw such a large bird on top. We turned the car around, got the cameras out and clicked away. It was pretty far out in the middle of the salt marsh, so it was hard to get a great photo.
I haven’t seen many Bald Eagles on the Cape and Phil had never seen one so this was a big treat!
No matter what time of the day or what time of the year, or if it’s sunny or cloudy, the saltmarsh on the Cape is always spectacular. I loved this photograph taken in the afternoon as the skies were starting to clear after the storm.
It’s been a very chilly week here on Cape Cod with more snow expected this afternoon. The wind chill for tomorrow is supposed to be in the single digits. Brrr!
There is quite a bit of ice on Boat Meadow Creek. I really like the circular patterns of snow on the ice. So pretty…
With the three major storms this past week and heavy rain and wind, the tides have been huge! Yesterday was quite an adventure! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
Bridge Rd. was closed about an hour before high tide as the salt marsh washed over the road.
At Rock Harbor, Young’s Seafood Market had lots of water in the parking lot and the road behind it was flooded.
You can see the water rising up by the launch area and into the parking lot as the tide came in. Wow! Crazy tides lately!
We have had some unbelievable sunsets lately. I particularly liked this one over the salt marsh as the sun is reflected on so many parts of the creek which was overflowing its banks. So pretty, don’t you think?
