I saw this juvenile bird near a couple of adult Eiders at Rock Harbor in Orleans, so I presumed it was a juvenile Eider. He was so cute, just swimming around. And then he stared at me. How cute is that!
Can anyone verify if it is indeed a juvenile Eider?
The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod has a lot of great trails to hike. This is one of our favorite’s… through the woods, across the salt marsh and then out to the beaches, as long as it is not near high tide!! 🙂
There were a  flock of Brants swimming along the shore on Cape Cod Bay. They are very distinctive with their black head, neck and chest and a patch of white lines on their upper neck.
They love the saltwater bays from November to May.
It was a gorgeous day a few weeks ago to take a walk on the beach by Rock Harbor in Orleans on Cape Cod. The clouds were just spectacular as the temperatures were in the high 60s. Unbelievable for February on Cape Cod!
March has been exceptionally cold. Â We’re waiting for spring…
