It’s so much fun to go birding here on Cape Cod in the winter. You never know what you will see or where you will see it. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
There were quite a few birds swimming around at Herring Pond the other day. I always love the Ring-necked Ducks. They look like they should be called “Ring-billed Ducks” instead as their ring is around their bill and not their neck.
The Ring-necked Ducks are not like dabbling ducks… they dive to eat submerged plants and aquatic invertebrates.
No matter what the season or what the weather, the fishing boats still go out on Cape Cod. I loved this fishing boat heading out of Wellfleet Harbor yesterday morning. The water was just like glass…. Wow!
With all of the rain that we’ve had this winter, the ponds are pretty high. I always love to take a hike at Wiley Park where you can see all of the little cut-outs through the trees and bushes to the water.
It was a rainy, cold winter day so we decided to take a drive to Coast Guard Beach. The wind was howling and the waves were huge. I loved this photo taken through the rain-dotted windshield on that famous drive down to Coast Guard Beach from Nauset Light. You can see the sun trying to peek out from behind the storm clouds.
People always love to walk out on the flats at Rock Harbor, no matter what season of the year. It’s always so pretty. I loved the pastel colors in this photo; what do you think?
