I looked out of our kitchen window yesterday as it was snowing and down by the water at Meetinghouse Pond in Orleans on Cape Cod was a Great Blue Heron…waiting for lunch! Between the snow and reeds he was somewhat difficult to decipher but being my favorite bird, I just knew it was “Blue.”
I have never seen a Great Blue Heron wading in the marsh by our house, so it was quite a treat.
Not a great photograph as it was snowing and it was through the wet window, but still one of “Blue!” Awesome!
It was so great to see this elderly couple setting up their beach chairs at Nauset Beach on Cape Cod in the middle of winter just to be able to sit and enjoy the beach. It was a fairly warm day, but with the breezes blowing off of the ocean you still needed your winter jacket.
We saw several Brants on the shores at First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod. The Brant is a small goose of the ocean shores that breeds in the high Arctic tundra and winters along both coasts.
The Brant is a medium to small goose with a black head, neck, and chest and a white, partly broken collar.
The Brant is a very beautiful and distinctive bird. I had never seen one before. Have you?
This girl was loving being at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod on a warm winter day. She was taking it all in and enjoying the moment!
It’s warm days like this one that people love to take advantage of a walk on the beach or just enjoy the scenery. It was one of those warm winter days on Cape Cod…
