It is such a treat to take a hike in one of the parks here on Cape Cod and hear the drilling of the Hairy Woodpecker on the trees. This Hairy was very busy at work.
I was lucky to get close enough to get a decent photograph of him.
Hairy Woodpeckers are bigger than the Downy Woodpecker with a much larger bill and clear, white unspotted outer tail feathers.
Have you ever seen a Hairy Woodpecker? Beautiful, don’t you think?
This Seagull was hilarious in his theatrics of eating a clam on Nauset Beach in Orleans on Cape Cod!
I was walking along the beach when this Seagull flew over my head and dropped a clam on the beach about 10 feet away. It was smashed and ready to eat. He quickly pounced on it and enjoyed his meal to the utmost as another Seagull stayed closeby, looking for any handouts. Sorry, there were none when he was finished.
I just love how he is ingesting this clam while upside down. Hilarious, don’t you think?
This Red-tailed Hawk landed in my yard the other morning. I was sure it was looking for breakfast, but I was mistaken.
It walked around looking at all of the little branches that had fallen off the trees this winter and found that perfect one to build its nest, picked it up and off it flew.
That was really cool to see so “up close and personal!”
