I was so excited when I saw this Eastern Kingbird at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod. I had never seen one before. It was flitting from tree to tree on the bay side of Tri-Island. It landed just long enough for me to take a photograph.
The Eastern Kingbird has slate-colored back and wings with a black head. It is about 8″ long. It likes to perch on top of trees which is where we saw it again on top of a dead tree by Goose Pond.
They will stay around all summer, so maybe you will ger lucky and see it there too!
The Canada Mayflowers are blooming on the sides of the trails at Wiley Park in Eastham on Cape Cod.
They are a small woodland plant with tiny 4-petaled white flowers clustered on stems like miniature bottle brushes. They are often form large colonies. The flowers are under 1/4″ and grow to only 3-6″ in May and June.
So tiny and delicate… Have you ever seen a Canada Mayflower?
The clouds in the sky at First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod were just spectacular! It doesn’t get much prettier!

When you visit Provincetown on Cape Cod, your choices for restaurants and dessert spots are endless. Wherever you turn, there is something eclectic for you to try!
