Howdee all,
A few Saturdays ago, Jeff and I joined a group of birders on a guided trip Sponsored by Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.
The trip left Outermost Harbor..
a fifteen minute trip to South Beach.
Although it wasn’t prime shorebird migration we did see a decent amount of birds.

Whimbrel in the grass
clammers in the mud flats..
It was an overcast day, but otherwise quite nice.
I have more photos of birders than birds.
we did see birds, really!
Here is our trip leader looking at one of his favorite birds.
See below..
We all had great looks at many
Saltmarsh Sparrows
A beautiful little bird.
We walked to the ocean, the Golden Rod was loaded with these moths..
any ideas of who they are?
