We were so lucky to see this Green Heron at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Sometimes they are pretty elusive. This Green Heron was fishing at the salt marsh where we watched him for a bit. And then he fly away!
As we hiked out to the beach, one of the naturalists had a spotting scope set up looking up high in a tree next to the trail. Up there was a Green Heron’s nest. It was quite large. I wonder if it was the one we saw by the salt marsh?
This was the cutest photograph of this Northern Flicker at our bird bath here on Cape Cod. He was just sitting there, getting a drink of water and I happened to have my camera ready so I clicked away. He looks like he’s talking to someone.
He almost looks like a baby, but I think he is mature.
Cute photograph, don’t you think? His coloring is just beautiful!
I was so excited when I saw this Eastern Kingbird at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod. I had never seen one before. It was flitting from tree to tree on the bay side of Tri-Island. It landed just long enough for me to take a photograph.
The Eastern Kingbird has slate-colored back and wings with a black head. It is about 8″ long. It likes to perch on top of trees which is where we saw it again on top of a dead tree by Goose Pond.
They will stay around all summer, so maybe you will ger lucky and see it there too!
I fill my bird bath many times during the day here on Cape Cod because so many birds like to take a bath in it! They are so much fun to watch.
These two Baltimore Orioles, male and female, took turns bathing while the other was a lookout. They certainly were enjoying themselves!
So cute, don’t you think? It’s a pretty inexpensive way for a lot of entertainment!
