This little Song Sparrow was sitting atop this tree at Forth Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod singing away. He was loving it, as was everyone who was listening to him.
I loved the blue, blue sky in the background. What do you think?

Eclectic Bird House At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod
I have walked by this structure at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary so many times in the past and never really paid any attention to it. Until the other day…
It is a condo of different types of bird houses! How fun! It will be fun to see what kinds of birds “rent” their space here.
Very cool, don’t you think?
Rare Cattle Egret In Eastham On Cape Cod
Phil and I were driving home last week when I saw this Egret-like bird in one of the little ponds along the side of the road. It has rained so much lately that there are little ponds all over the place, where there were never any little ponds.
I got out of the car and clicked away, thinking it was a Great Egret. It wasn’t until I got home and looked on my computer that I saw it was a Cattle Egret. They are not very common around here so it was a big treat to see one. I had never seen one before!
Love that orangish plumage on his breast, head and tail!

Adorable Tufted Titmouse At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod
Phil was sitting in the car in the parking lot at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary as I ran inside to make a delivery. As he sat there, this adorable little Tufted Titmouse landed in the flowering tree right above him. The car acted as a blind for him, so he could see the bird but the bird could not see him. He got out his camera and clicked away.
When I got back he showed me these great photographs of the little Tufted Titmouse… and the gorgeous flowering tree as a backdrop!
What a perfect photo-op!
Wishing you all a wonderful Mother’s Day! May you find a few moments to get outside and enjoy a little bit of Mother Nature!
