We always know when the Red-Bellied Woodpecker is hungry at the Wellfleet Wildlife Sanctuary because you can her squawking from far away! You can walk down the Silver Spring trail and hopefully see her poking her head out of the hole in the tree, which is her home about 20 feet up.
Have you ever seen a Woodpecker’s hole in a tree? Pretty cool, don’t you think?
The Bufflehead is one of the most unique-looking ducks that I’ve seen. I love the big white spot on the back of their heads. The female Bufflehead has a small spot on the side of her head.
I saw these Buffleheads at Nauset Marsh. They didn’t come close enough to get a great photograph, but you can see what they look like.
Have you ever seen a Bufflehead? They are here from October to May and then they migrate up to northern Canada!
I loved this photograph of this Great Blue Heron Silhouette at Nauset Marsh in Eastham on Cape Cod. It must be a favorite fishing spot as I’ve seen him there many times.
It wasn’t until I got home and looked at my photographs on my computer that I saw all of the other birds in the background. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
When Phil and I headed out a couple of days ago to Morris Island in Chatham, I was hoping to see an Oystercatcher. We had not seen one in about 15 years and they are so beautiful with their long orange beaks which they use to catch and open Oysters!
Looking through our binoculars, we saw 2 Oystercatchers by the water’s edge. They stayed just long enough for us to get a few good photographs. What a treat! And then they flew away!
I guess we were at the right place at the right moment… wow!
