I usually see this Great Blue Heron way up high in the tree at Rock Harbor when I’m out biking early in the morning, but I never have my camera with me. (Click on blog link to see other photos.)
The other day we were having a picnic breakfast at Rock Harbor when I looked up in the tree and there he was… about 30′ up! And I had my camera right there.
Love the first photo where he is calling out with his croaking sound. The 2nd one shows him scratching his neck with those long toes! And the last one shows you how high he was up in the tree.
I stopped by Rock Harbor on my bike ride the other morning and was greeted with this beautiful view. I love the Egret by the side of the beach grass and the contrasting colors of the jetty.
We were taking a walk along Cape Cod Bay at low tide the other morning when we stopped on the dock at Rock Harbor to look at some of the boats. This Egret jumped up on the dock and started walking toward me.
The tides on Cape Cod have been so high the past couple of days, you can’t even walk onto the dock at Rock Harbor. You can see the water under the Harbor-master’s hut and onto the parking lot.
September is one of my favorite months here on Cape Cod. The weather is usually warm as is the water. And… the people are gone so you have the place to yourself!
This was one of the last days of summer with the people lazing about in the water and on the beach at Rock Harbor. So peaceful…
