The Dunes Have Grown On Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

After the last storm, we were anxious to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach. Yesterday was a gorgeous day with sunny skies and warmish temps in the 40s. Just perfect…

We were surprised to see how high the dunes had gotten as we walked down toward Nauset Spit. In front of the dunes way in the distance,  you can see a person with a dark jacket. He looks pretty small! Those dunes have grown pretty high in the past few weeks.

I wonder what surprises Mother Nature has in store for us after today’s Nor’easter?

Hooded Mergansers At Herring Pond On Cape cod.

There are so many different kinds of winter birds at Herring Pond, you never know what you will see. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

“The Hooded Merganser is a small duck with a slender bill and a flamboyant oversized head. The hood can be raised or lowered, changing the shape of the head and the white patch.”

Have you ever seen a Hooded Merganser? Beautiful bird, don’t you think?
