It was a gorgeous day for a hike at the Audubon and what a day for bird watching! We saw at least 40-50 Egrets and 10 Great Blue Herons by the little ponds on the salt marsh. It was such a beautiful sight! Wow!

It’s always such a treat to hike the trails at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. There is always so much to see and it is always changing. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

You can hike the Silver Spring Loop Trail  where you can see many varieties of wildflowers as well as many different kinds of birds. Or you can hike out to the beach and see the various shorebirds that like to feed there.

Have you ever hiked at the Audubon in Wellfleet? It’s great fun for the whole family!

The “window boxes” along the walking trail at Wellfleet Harbor are all planted and beautiful. You can look out and see the beautiful boats in the harbor through the flowers. Have you seen them yet? So pretty!

We always love hiking the trails at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. They are all so diverse and you always see something new. I love the pretty fall colors along the Silver Spring  Loop Trail and the Goose Pond Trail. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

Have you ever hiked there? So pretty, don’t you think? Love the fall colors…

 

Very High Tides At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod.

The tides on Cape Cod have been exceptionally high lately. They were really high the other day at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.

If you hike out on the Goose Pond Trail, there are markers that were placed there a few years ago to show people what climate change might look like if the ocean waters rise. You pass these on the way out to the beach.

We were so surprised to see how high the water was the other day when we were hiking there.  It was gushing through the culvert at Goose Pond, filling up the pond, and you could see it rising along the trail on the way out to the beach. It was about an hour until high tide and the water was already up to the 2050 marker. We’ve never seen it that high; have you?
