There were wild turkeys everywhere at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. It was fun to watch them peck away looking for food.
I thought this was the perfect Blog for Thanksgiving so… Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. May you find a few minutes to go outside and see something special in nature.
We were taking a short hike at Fort Hill on the National Seashore the other day when I saw a lot of commotion out at Nauset Break. I didn’t have my binoculars with me so I zoomed in with my camera and took a few photographs.
When I got home I could see that there were hundreds of birds flying about out there as well as resting on the beaches. I wonder if there was an abundance of fish out there that they were feeding on or why they were there?
Any ideas?
I had never seen a Semipalmated Plover on the beaches of Cape Cod Bay, so it was a big treat to see so many of them dashing about the beach looking for food this past week.
They are a small Plover that usually migrates to coastal areas of south United States during the winter months. Maybe they were heading down that way and stopped for a bite to eat on the way?
It gots its name because it only has partly webbed feet, thus the “semi” meaning half.
Have you ever seen a Semipalmated Plover?
