I saw this turkey in Dennis on Cape Cod the other day as I was parked in a parking lot. He was not the least bit intimidated by me. As a matter of fact, he almost looked like he was posing for the picture.
Love the feathers, don’t you?

Hairy Woodpecker In Wiley Park On Cape Cod
It is such a treat to take a hike in one of the parks here on Cape Cod and hear the drilling of the Hairy Woodpecker on the trees. This Hairy was very busy at work.
I was lucky to get close enough to get a decent photograph of him.
Hairy Woodpeckers are bigger than the Downy Woodpecker with a much larger bill and clear, white unspotted outer tail feathers.
Have you ever seen a Hairy Woodpecker? Beautiful, don’t you think?
Red-Tailed Hawk Making Its Nest On Cape Cod
This Red-tailed Hawk landed in my yard the other morning. I was sure it was looking for breakfast, but I was mistaken.
It walked around looking at all of the little branches that had fallen off the trees this winter and found that perfect one to build its nest, picked it up and off it flew.
That was really cool to see so “up close and personal!”
