It’s a great time of year to hike the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It’s been cool enough that there are no bugs! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It’s a great trail for the whole family as both kids and adults enjoy walking on the boardwalk over the swamp. Have you ever done this hike?
“The White Cedar Swamp Trail: …at night the intrepid birder may be rewarded with a calling Northern Saw-whet Owl or Eastern
Screech-Owl, both of which have nested here. Whip-poor-wills are also resident during the summer, and in
recent years Chuck-will’s-widows have become regular and may be nesting; both species can often be heard at dusk
from mid-May through July.”

A great hike for the whole family to enjoy. They recently worked on the boardwalk going through the swamp.
