A Cold Winter Day At Boat Meadow Beach On Cape Cod Bay

What a difference a few days makes on Cape Cod. Last weekend I was biking in my shorts and today it is in the lower 20s. Brrr. It is supposed to warm up again this coming week. Hopefully to stay!

I took a walk down to Boat Meadow Beach yesterday just to see the beach and take a little walk. It was cold and windy but the beach was spectacular!

What do you think?

 

 

Glorious Day For A Bike Ride On Cape Cod!

From the blizzard last week to 62 degrees yesterday… Wow! The snow is almost all gone and it feels like spring!

So, I got my bike out and took my first bike ride of the season! It was awesome! I have never biked in February and I even wore shorts! How cool is that?

This is my “selfie” at Boat Meadow Beach on Cape Cod Bay.. My arm isn’t quite long enough, but you can get the picture. 🙂

Rare, Thick-Billed Murre At Boat Meadow Beach On Cape Cod

Phil and I were enjoying a glorious day at Boat Meadow after the snowstorm last week when I saw this duck out of the corner of my eye. It was swimming close to shore and didn’t look very familiar. I had my camera so I clicked away.

I checked my Sibley when I got home but all I came up with was a Thick -Billed Murre which is rare around here, especially on the bayside.

I waited until our friend, who is an astute birder,  returned from his vacation and showed him my photograph. Yes, it was a Thick-Billed Murre and he was most jealous! He has never seen one .

How cool is that?!
