11.4.14 - Cape Cod Museum of Natural History - Tuesday Tweets
Lee Baldwin Trail & Museum Trail - Brewster, MA

The tides were not going to cooperate for a long-distance walk this morning, so we adapted like the birds.  We don't always have children on our walks and they always add their unique perspective and share their knowledge - it was refreshing!  Our first sighting this fall of Yellow-rumped Warblers, both male and female.  I feel I've FINALLY learned their call. 
I shall have to rely on Rick's spectacular photos - see below(THANK YOU RICK!!!) for the Belted Kingfisher sighting.  I just couldn't take my eyes off that bird! (double click photos below to enlarge)
Our List:
House Wren
Black-capped Chickadee
Downy Woodpecker
Blue Jay
American Crow
Coopers Hawk 
Mourning Dove
Yellow-rumped Warbler (female & male!)
American Goldfinch
Belted Kingfisher (!!!)
