It’s been so much fun going out each day with our binoculars and cameras trying to see which birds have migrated back to the Cape for the winter. There seems to be a new one every couple of days!

We took a drive by Great Pond in Eastham where I could see some white on what looked like a few ducks in the distance. When I got my binoculars out, I could see that they were Hooded Mergansers. What a treat! This was a first for us  this season.

As you can see by the photograph, it looks like two males and a female. I love how you can see their bright yellow eyes. Have you seen a Hooded Merganser yet this year?
