Great Blue Heron At Nauset Salt Marsh On Cape Cod

This Great Blue Heron, my very favorite bird,  had just landed at Nauset Salt Marsh on Cape Cod. It is always such a treat to see them.

Love his spread wings… such a beautiful bird! Great pose, huh?

Beautiful Greater Yellowlegs At the Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary On Cape Cod

It was low tide at the Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary on Cape Cod so we were able to walk all the way out to the beaches. You have to walk part of the way on a boardwalk that is submerged when the tides are higher.

We were treated to many shorebirds that day darting about the eddies, looking for food.  But this Greater Yellowlegs was absolutely stunning as he waded through the water.

What do you think?
