Very Rare Snow Geese At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

I had read on the Cape Cod Birders FB page about two Snow Geese that had been sighted at Fort Hill, so we went to investigate. These birds are very rare in this area. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

Out in the meadow were the two Snow Geese mingling with the Canada Geese that have been here all winter. They were pretty far out there but still easy to identify.

For many birders this is a “lifer,” but I had seen three of them a few years ago on a walk in my neighborhood. It was so strange in that I did not have my camera with me and the weather was so bad that it took me a week to walk by again. And there they still were… and I was fortunate to have my camera in hand.

Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail On Cape Cod is Magical This Time Of The Year.

I love hiking the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail in Wellfleet this time of the year when the rains have made the swamp a magical wonderland. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

When the sun is out, the reflections in the water on the swamp are so pretty.. Have you hiked there lately?
