I’ve seen many Common Eiders in this area on Cape Cod in the wintertime. This Common Eider was swimming about on Boat Meadow Creek by the bridge in Eastham. I’ve seen it several times and always alone. I wonder how long he will stay in the area…
This little Yellow-Rumped Warbler loves to come get a drink and an occasional bath at our bird bath. He is such a pretty bird. You can see the yellow on his rump in the 2nd photograph. When he flies, the yellow is very prominent!
I am always so surprised to Great Blue Herons way up high in a tree. It just seems natural that they are by the shore fishing, not up in a tree resting.
I saw these two Great Blue Herons on the Nauset Marsh Trail by the Salt Pond. Pretty cool, huh?
This one red Cardinal who we call Red, and his wife, Birdie, have been hanging around our yard quite a bit lately. I love it! They must like our birdseed. I’ve always loved Cardinals. Their red coloring is so vivid.
Red was just hanging out and having a drink at our bird bath. Beautiful, don’t you think?
The Bluebirds having been flying in and out of the birdhouse right by our bedroom window the past couple of days. How cool is that! Last year we had two Bluebird families that made nests and then had their young there. It was so much fun to watch! The babies were adorable!
Keeping our fingers crossed that they move in and give us another treat this year!
