Bearberry Are Starting to Bloom On Cape Cod

The Bearberry with its vibrant red berries are starting to come out on Cape Cod. They are an 8″ trailing evergreen shrub with red berries and glossy, leathery leaves. Out in Colorado they are called kinnikinick.

Their flowers which are tiny white or pink bells will bloom in May and June on sandy or rocky  soil.

Have you ever seen a Bearberry?

 

Hairy Woodpecker In Wiley Park On Cape Cod

It is such a treat to take a hike in one of the parks here on Cape Cod and hear the drilling of the Hairy Woodpecker on the trees. This Hairy was very busy at work.

I was lucky to get close enough to get a decent photograph of him.

Hairy Woodpeckers are bigger than the Downy Woodpecker with a much larger bill and clear, white unspotted outer tail feathers.

Have you ever seen a Hairy Woodpecker? Beautiful, don’t you think?
