One of our favorite pastimes here on Cape Cod is to go birding. There are so many different species of birds. So, one of the first things we bought for our new home is a bird feeder.

We put it up about 10 days ago, thinking the birds would flock to it. Well, we didn’t see any birds for the first 8 days. Did we put it in the wrong place? Then…there were birds everywhere! They had to wait their turn on the nearby branches to get to the food. It’s been so much fun to watch.

So here is one of my first photographs of 1 male and 2 female Goldfinches on our new feeder. Do you have a bird feeder? They are so much fun!

This is the first Cardinal that I have photographed in years so it was such a treat! I will have to get a better one without the branch in the way.

But Red (as we call a male Cardinal, the female is Birdie) was just so regal looking in the tree, I had to click away!

It was a gorgeous day so Phil and I took a walk at Wiley Park in Eastham on Cape Cod. It felt like a warm spring day. We sat on the bench by the lake and watched the kayakers paddle by.

All of a sudden we saw an Osprey hovering above the water. I quickly got my camera out and clicked away.

He certainly got himself a nice big fish for lunch! And then flew away to the perfect spot to enjoy his meal.

We have seen a Red-tailed Hawk flying above our new home on Cape Cod and we thought it had a home nearby. Our landscaper took a great photograph of the hawk up in a tree near our front porch eating a snake. He said it was pretty awesome.

Yesterday we were working about on the house when we saw him in the same tree. I got lots of photographs with him sitting there looking for his next meal and him preening himself. It was pretty cool.

There are so many birds at our new home. We can’t wait to move in!
