These Mallards and Great Blue Heron were hanging out together by Boat Meadow Creek. I liked their reflections in the water.

Chatty Catbird At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod.
The Osprey Are Moving In On Cape Cod!
It looks like the Osprey are back and intent on building their home on top of this light pole. They had a nest there last year and raised a couple of young chicks. It’s so much fun to watch the Osprey as they build their gorgeous nests high above the commotion on the ground below. Such beautiful birds… and always a welcome sign in the spring!
Lunch Time At Boat Meadow On Cape Cod.
This is the first White Egret that I’ve seen this spring. What a treat! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
When the tide comes in at Boat Meadow, it makes lots of little ponds where the shore birds love to go to fish. This White Egret was diving in looking for lunch at one of the ponds. It was a warm day so seeing this guy really felt like spring is on the way!
Have you seen any Egrets yet?
Beautiful Common Eider At Rock Harbor On Cape Cod.
It’s always fun to stop by Rock Harbor to see if there are any photo ops. There usually are! This Common Eider and his wife were swimming about the harbor, more interested in preening than fishing. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Beautiful birds, don’t you think? Such a difference male to female…
