Howdee all,
While staying in Cape Cod..
We had a few combo~Kayak~Clamming~Birding trips
This particular day was foggy..
We were a bit late for low tide and the tide was coming in quickly…
Jeff had to keep moving the Kayak
We also had to keep moving to dig for clams…as the water was creeping up on us.
There were plenty of birds around
Jeff birded while nephew David and I did the digging.
Some of the Black-bellied Plover were showing nice color
(please let me know if my bird IDs are wrong)
Short-billed Dowitcher
As it poked around the rocks....
Marbled Godwit~
With a basket full of Steamers..it was time to head
Back to shore..
Jeff and David
Shucking Clams and Oysters..
Fried Clams and Oysters over pasta
and Steamers!
Jeff and I are in Lexington, Ma. now. We are still not in Homey~we hope to pick it up tomorrow.
Sounds like a fun time, kayaking and clam digging. Looks like a delicious dinner too. Great photos and of course I love the birds. The godwit is a cool looking bird with its bi-colored beak. Wonderful photos, happy birding.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you spent a beautiful day birding and clamming at Chatham. Pretty beach scenes! Love all the little shorebirds. That's quite a beak on the Marbled Godwit. Ohh, that dinner looked fine! Delightful post, Dawn!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to need to have a housewarming party!
ReplyDeleteWow-a popping collection of shorebirds photos and that godwit photo is terrific!Aww shucks-clams are good too though!
ReplyDeleteAaaww. You had a good day and a yummy dinner. Much more fun than hiking the West Fork Trail, although that was fun and challenging and did have some body of water, minus the clams and the birds though. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I had fun reading and imagining. :)
Wow! What a life! There were so many cute peeps around you as you clammed!
