Beautiful Greater Yellowlegs At the Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary On Cape Cod

It was low tide at the Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary on Cape Cod so we were able to walk all the way out to the beaches. You have to walk part of the way on a boardwalk that is submerged when the tides are higher.

We were treated to many shorebirds that day darting about the eddies, looking for food.  But this Greater Yellowlegs was absolutely stunning as he waded through the water.

Milkweed Seeds On Cape Cod In Black And White Photography

Every time I walk home from downtown, I pass these Milkweed plants. I love how, in the fall, the pods open and the white fluff starts oozing out filled with black seeds ready for the wind to whisk them away!

Pretty, don’t you think?
