We saw our first Baltimore Oriole of the season yesterday in our yard. What a treat! We look so forward to that every year that we take bets on the date that they will arrive. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Last year they arrived on May 2nd, so they were a few days earlier this year. Have you seen one yet? Gorgeous bird, don’t you think?
Whether it’s summer or winter, cloudy or sunny, Coast Guard Station is always beautiful. Here’s a few facts, if you didn’t know…
“One of the original nine stations was constructed at Nauset. It was located about 350 yards southeast of the present building. Shoreline erosion compelled the construction of a new station. The old station remained in service until 1937, when it was replaced by the present structure. The present building was in service as a Coast Guard Station until 1958.
The building is now the Cape Cod National Seashore’s residential environmental education program facility. Known as NEED, it offers educational groups an opportunity to experience the natural and historical wonders of Cape Cod. The building is not open to the general public, but visitors are able to walk around the grounds and enjoy the ocean views.”
There is so much history on Cape Cod!
