Brewster, MA
We had a windy Tuesday to contend with, but we were insistent upon getting as close to Cape Cod Bay within our hour long walk as we could. I had to leave around 10:30 so I never made it to the bay myself, but I know others did and I'm sure the views didn't disappoint. It was nice to see both familiar faces and some newcomers to Tuesday Tweets! Our walk began with a nearly immediate sighting of a Great-crested Flycatcher - a summer migrant. I realize I start saying, "...one of my FAVORITES!" on almost every bird walk. I'm more enthusiastic about certain species, mostly because I have a personal story that I associate with that particular species. One thing thing, I'm sure I've mentioned before, is that even if you're not obsessed with birds, you usually have a memory, a story or a question about birds. It's that same old story, they're everywhere... how lucky we are that is the case. What fun they are to share. Don't miss Rick's incredible photography - credited per photo as you'll see if you take a peek. Thank You Rick! (double click photos to enlarge)

Silhouettes are an important tool when identifying birds.
