The Red-winged Blackbirds are back and noisy at Fort Hill. You can always hear their distinct “Cu-ca-ree” calls to each other as you hike the trails. They are so pretty and a sign that spring is almost here!
This guy was sitting on a fence post just singing away. Love his coloring… so bright and vibrant!
It’s hard to keep your windshield clean with all the messy weather we’ve had here on the Cape. This was such a pretty view from Fort Hill looking out over Nauset Marsh. And… the sun was shining at such an angle that you could see every little spot on our windshield! I really like the photograph with all its “spotty” character!
Yesterday was first day in a long time where the wind wasn’t howling. We decided to take advantage of the calmer weather and take a nice morning walk at Fort Hill. It was just gorgeous with those beautiful clouds in the sky! (Click on blog link for other photo. )
Then I decided to edit the photo with a more dramatic tone. What do you think? Which one do you like better?
It’s been so cold and so windy here on the Cape that sometimes it’s nice just to take a drive. We stopped at Fort Hill yesterday morning, not expecting to see anything. It was so windy, the car was shaking!
All of a sudden, I saw some movement in the grass. At first I thought it was a Flicker with its black patch on its breast, but then it lifted its head high and I could see bright yellow on its chest. Could it be an Eastern Meadowlark? What a treat to see this colorful bird on this frigid cold winter morning!
