Sanderlings At Coast Guard Beach, On The National Seashore, On Cape Cod

These little sanderlings were gathered together at low tide on Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod. They are such cute little birds and seem to travel as one…in a pack. If one moves to the right, they all do. They love to scurry around on the sandbars. Sanderlings are quite amusing to watch!

Have you ever seen a Sanderling?  Such a fun little bird!

Beautiful Mockingbird Singing Away On Cape Cod

I saw this Mockingbird, high up in the tree, singing away while hiking at Fort Hill on Cape Cod. What a pretty photograph with the blue, blue sky in the background!

They are best known for mimicking the songs of other birds often loudly and in rapid succession. Thus they are called the Mockingbird.

Have you ever heard a Mockingbird? They are usually very chatty and let you know they are nearby.

Adorable Eastern Bluebird Taking A Bath In Our Bird Bath On Cape Cod

This little Eastern Blue was so cute taking a bath in our bird bath here on Cape Cod. He wasn’t even afraid to bathe while the Mourning Dove stood by watching him. He then shook off on the side of the bird bath.

The last photograph shows him high on a branch in the tree drying off and warming up in the sun.

It must be almost spring. I’ve seen a lot of birds at our bird bath this winter getting a drink of water, but not too many having a bath! Too cute!
