The Double-Crested Cormorants Love “The Rock” At Rock Harbor Rock On Cape Cod.

You can still see all the Cormorants congregating in “the rock” at Rock Harbor. They love to perch up there  and spread their wings to dry them!

Pretty soon they will be gone for the winter and we’ll await their arrival next spring and look forward to seeing them atop “the rock” at Rock Harbor again.

Beautiful Little Palm Warbler At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

We were having our picnic breakfast at Fort Hill the other morning when this little bird started hopping around on the split-rail fence. Phil got his camera out and clicked away, thinking it was just “another” sparrow. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

And then I pulled up my iBird Photo Sleuth on my iPhone and it said it was 99% a Palm Warbler. Wow!! We had never seen one before, so it was a first on our Life List!

When viewing the range map, it looks like the Palm Warbler was migrating from Canada and the northern states to southeastern USA, the West Indies and the Yucatán Peninsula. Very cool!

Have you ever seen a Palm Warbler?
