We took a hike on the Nauset Marsh Trail by the Salt Pond the other day and were so surprised at how fast it had been cleaned up after the blizzard. (Click on blog link fir other photo.)
Thank you to all those at Cape Cod National Seashore for taking care of the National Seashore, the trails and all it has to offer. We are forever grateful!
It was such a treat to see this White-winged Scoter swimming around on Nauset Marsh. I’ve only seen one a couple of times and not in years. Have you ever seen one? Love that white patch around his eye! So distinct!
After the snow over the weekend, it was a beautiful day for a hike on the Nauset Marsh Trail. There were a few footprints in the snow, but not too many.
As you round the first bend by the Salt Pond, you can see that the tide was pretty high. Make sure you go left and up at the fork or you’ll need your high rubber boots to get through the water on the trail. It was higher than I’ve ever seen it. Wow!
Have you be ever seen a Red-Breasted Merganser? They are the coolest looking birds with their “bad hair” days and their red eyes and beaks. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see the difference in coloring between the male and female. The male is much more vibrant as the females are gray overall. So much fun to watch them!
It was such a treat to wake up to snow the other morning. With temps in the 30s, it was a perfect day for a nice hike. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
There’s nothing like a quiet walk in the woods on a snowy morning.
Yesterday the forecast was for rain, so we got up early and headed out to the gym. On our way home, the sky turned a myriad of spectacular colors! Oh my! It was just gorgeous!
This was just one of the incredible photos I got at the Salt Pond on our way back home. Look at those reflections! It seemed like everywhere you looked was prettier than the place before!
Wow! Were you lucky enough to see this magnificent sunrise yesterday?
