Love All Of The The Sanderlings On The Cape Cod Beaches.

2 Comments

It seems like every time we go to the beach we see lots of Sanderlings scurrying about, whether it be on the ocean side or bay side. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

“This is the little sandpiper that runs up and down the beach ‘like a clockwork toy,’ chasing the receding waves.” I bet you’ve seen many of them as you walk down the local beaches.

Their diet consists “mostly sand crabs and other invertebrates. Feeds on a wide variety of small creatures on beach, including sand crabs, amphipods, isopods, insects, marine worms and small mollusks.”

Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail In Wellfleet On Cape Cod.

1 Comment

The Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail is a favorite for the entire family. There is so much diversity on the trail. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

It’s a beautiful hike through the woods and then on the boardwalk that takes you over the swamp. This time of year, it’s pretty dry, but in the spring and summer it can be really wet.

It’s not too long or too strenuous and there is so much to see that it’s perfect for the whole family. It’s one of our favorite trails any time of the year.
