You can always tell when there is a hawk in our yard. The feeders are empty and you can’t hear a thing. And there, perched up in the tree, was a Cooper’s Hawk looking for his next meal.
These Double-Crested Cormorants were certainly loving this little shed on the Salt Pond by the Eastham Visitors Center. I counted 16 there at one time, either in the water or sitting on top.
Perfect place for them to perch and dry their wings.
There were thousands of birds on Coast Guard Beach yesterday, trying to get those clams and shellfish in the shallow waters. I’ve never seen so many birds there. And were they noisy!
The waves were big and the winds were steady but you could hear those birds from far away!
This Double-Crested Cormorant was posing on the little island of rocks and logs out in the middle or Cliff Pond at Nickerson State Park. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I thought it looked just like a statue… what do you think?
