Time To Clean Out Your Bird Houses On Cape Cod.

It’s that time of the year when all of the little chicks have fledged and it’s time to clean out their bird houses to get ready for next spring…. Or, maybe someone might move in there for  the winter months. We frequently have Downy Woodpeckers using our bird houses during the winter.

We found this beautiful nest in our Eastern Screen Owl house. It was so tall and so soft! What a beauty!  The male that we named Hootie lived there for a couple of weeks and was obviously quite busy building this nest. Either his anticipated mate never found  him or a predator stopped by and scared him off.

We cleaned out all of the bird houses and put 2-3” of wood shavings in the Owl House just in case he comes back over the winter or in early spring looking for a nice place to make his home, Fingers crossed…

Mother Nature Has Been Busy On Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

Mother Nature sure has been busy by Nauset Spit on Coast Guard Beach. As you walk down toward the spit, the beach looks absolutely humongous! There is so much sand. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

You can see there are little pools that lead into little rivers that get filled at high tide. It looks so different. At the very end by the spit, don’t try to walk around to the marsh side at high tide, as the  water comes right up to the dunes.

Have you taken a walk on Coast Guard Beach lately? Always so beautiful and constantly changing!
