If you’re looking for the perfect picnic bench with spectacular views, try Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod. The views are breath-taking!
After your picnic, try hiking one of the many trails around the salt marsh or through the woods. It is a gorgeous place!
And, if you like bird-watching, don’t forget your binoculars! You’re sure to see a lot of birds.
We were surprised to see this Northern Gannet diving for food at Coast Guard Beach the other day. At first we weren’t sure what kind of diving bird it was as it plummeted into the ocean over and over again.
Northern Gannets dive vertically into the sea at velocities of up to 62mph. It was just amazing to watch. He would fly around for a bit and then dive head first straight into the water while tucking his wings in like a missile.
And then he flew away. It was fun looking in my bird book to identify what kind of diving bird he was. Have you ever seen a Northern Gannet diving into the sea?
When we decided to build a home here on Cape Cod last summer, we ordered a special mailbox that we could look forward to as we packed and got ready to leave Colorado.
It just arrived in the mail and I love it! It is perfect for our love of the beach and the shore birds on the Cape! Love that little Oystercatcher!
(I blocked our address which is printed in pretty red letters so that you could not write me lots of letters!!)
