Every time we hike the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail in Wellfleet, I have to smile whenever I see this guy. He looks like a pre-historic animal who greets everyone along the trail. You can see his mouth and his eye and his very long snout. He even had a few pieces of hair poking out!
Have you ever seen him? Too funny, don’t you think?
We were taking a hike at Fort Hill earlier in the day where we heard many Gray Catbirds calling back and forth, but we couldn’t see them through the heavy brush. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
But, when we got home, there was a Gray Catbird sitting right on our feeder and we were able to get lots of photos. What a treat! Such a beautiful bird!
We were taking a hike at Fort Hill the other day when we saw this gorgeous Great Horned Owl feather right in the middle of the trail. I’d never seen one up so close. Such an intricate pattern and so beautiful! Have you ever seen one?
We left the feather on the branch of a bush off to the side of the trail for others to enjoy.
PS I originally posted this as a Red-tailed Hawk feather. Stephanie Ellis, executive director of Wild Care Cape Cod, corrected me. It is the feather of a Great Horned Owl! Wow! What a treat! Thank you, Stephanie!
