We were driving across the salt marsh early the other day when I saw this coyote out hunting for breakfast. I had never seen a coyote on Cape Cod and this one was just a little ways from our home.
He was way out on the salt marsh as he prowled about. You can see how he is pouncing as he finds something that looked interesting in the grasses.
Cool photo, don’t you think?
I feel like I hit the jackpot yesterday when I went for a walk to Boat Meadow on Cape Cod. Thank goodness I had my camera. There were so many different birds!
It was almost high tide when this Willett was searching for food in the seagrass on the shore. It looks like he got a nice crab for lunch!
Willetts stand about 15″ tall with a wing span of 26.” When they fly, the ends of their wings are black with a wide white stripe down the middle. Very pretty…
Early yesterday morning we drove by Boat Meadow Marsh and my favorite bird, the Great Blue Heron, was standing among the reeds in the marsh. Perfect photo op. So when I got home I got my camera and walked back.
Blue (as I call him) was still there. Great! But only for a minute and then he flew away. Oh no! I missed him.
A couple of minutes later I saw 2 large birds flying in the sky. I thought they were courting. They seemed to be in sync.
It wasn’t until I went back and looked at my photographs closely that I realized that an Osprey was chasing the Great Blue Heron.
