Wellfleet Audubon walk..

Last week Jeff and I took a drive to Wellfleet Audubon.

We wanted to sign up for a boat trip to South Beach.

We were able to nab two spaces on a newly formed trip to South Beach..the following Monday..(photos of that awesome trip soon)

We decided to take a short walk to the bay to see what shorebirds were around.

This fella below is not a shorebird. :)

We walked into one of the viewing platforms that overlooked the saltwater marsh..

We saw one Great Egret and scads of American Crows.

On our way off the platform I sighted these beautiful old screws and screw holes…

I took a photo with my camera…

and one with my ipod..

Which one do you like better?

The colors are certainly very different ..

We took the boardwalk over to the beach..

Many American Goldfinch frolicking about..

A quick scan showed very few shorebirds..

We spotted an someone from Audubon ..she said the numbers of birds were low today.

We did see a small assortment of Plovers, sandpipers, gulls and terns.

Nothing close enough for my small lens..

We were on a tight schedule and had to be back in Chatham..

We plan to visit again and hope the numbers of birds have increased with migration.

Jeff and I are currently back in Lexington without Homey..staying in a family members home. I have an annual Drs. visit today. We head back to the Cape soon!
