Phil and I had just taken a hike at Fort Hill when we stopped at one of our favorite benches at Hemenway Landing, also part of the National Seashore. It looks out over Nauset Marsh and you can see Coast Guard Station in the distance.
All of a sudden we heard a familiar call and looked up to see two Greater Yellowlegs land in the marsh in front of us. It’s the first ones we’ve seen this year. Such a treat!
Beautiful yellow legs and feet, don’t you think?
I love to park at Fort Hill in Eastham and then hike down to Hemenway Landing which is right on Nauset Marsh on the National Seashore. There is always something interesting to see along Nauset Marsh whether it be a bird, a butterfly, a boat, kayakers or just the gorgeous views.
I took this photograph in both a horizontal and a vertical layout. Which one do you like better?
