Wellfleet Audubon~Birding

Howdee all,

Jeff and spent a few mornings at the Wellfleet Audubon on Cape Cod.

See the Bank of Solar panels behind the signs?

The also use their graywater to water their gardens.

We took a walk around on our own and also joined a birding walk.

The morning of the birding walk we saw this family of Bobwhite on the fence, before we started our walk.

Numbers of Bobwhite are declining with habitat loss on the Cape.

The center has jelly feeders..

Baltimore Orioles love Grape Jelly…I was surprised to see them still going to the jelly. I noticed in Ct. at my parents feeders, the Orioles stop going to the jelly a few weeks after their young fledge.

This was a first for me..have you seen this before?

Titmouse at a hummer feeder..

Small pond at the preserve..

Turtles doing what they do this time of year..

Milkweed pods sending out seed..

We walked the trail looking into the marsh area..

In the distant marsh I saw ten Great Blue Heron lined up..

Views to the bay..

We walked to the bay..birding along the way..
