- 413 - Seeing rare birds can happen anytime
Another week, another lost flycatcher from some far-flung locale has turned up. This one had been flung further than most, having perhaps started its journey as far away as Argentina.
Wed, 30 Oct 2024 - 412 - Fall rarities and common delights
With an exceedingly rare Gray Kingbird that played hide and seek with birders in Eastham this week, the Cape reclaimed the title of rare bird capital of the region, but sadly this Caribbean visitor kept moving - it was last seen on the 19th at Nauset Light Beach.
Wed, 23 Oct 2024 - 411 - A tiny but tough bird is visiting us from the North
Last week’s Vermilion Flycatcher, the briefly famous female photographed at South Cape Beach in Mashpee, turned out to be a one-day wonder, as we birders say – she hasn’t been seen since. Beyond a wayward Western Kingbird that’s still hanging around Peterson Farm in Falmouth, it was a quiet week on the Cape for fall rarities.
Wed, 16 Oct 2024 - 410 - Unusual birds are arriving every dayWed, 09 Oct 2024
- 409 - Enjoying the bird drama that unfolds around us
As we turn another calendar page, we’re also turning a corner in the fall migration. I’ve always preferred October to September, mainly because we tend to get more birds later in the fall.
Wed, 02 Oct 2024 - 408 - The birds that the wind brought in
You may have noticed that it rained recently, for the first time in what seemed like years. In addition to a satisfying, multi-day soaking of our parched soils, this weather also brought the kind of winds that get the attention of storm bird chasers, that hardy and quirky subset of the already quirky subset of society that is birders.
Wed, 25 Sep 2024 - 407 - Using a camera to add rare birds to your list
When it comes to bird photography, experienced practitioners know that sometimes it’s best to shoot first and ask questions later. What I mean is, even expert birders don’t always know exactly what they’re looking at until they get home and look at the photos.
Wed, 18 Sep 2024 - 406 - The joys of birding with a groupWed, 11 Sep 2024
- 405 - A Cape Cod birding beach that’s worth the trek
More than 300 species of birds have been recorded from Race Point, the second-highest list of anywhere on the Cape and Islands.
Wed, 04 Sep 2024 - 404 - Wayward birds of late summer
It’s not just back to school time for kids, all those billions of young birds that hatched over the spring and summer need to learn how to be birds, and it’s a real school of hard knocks.
Wed, 28 Aug 2024 - 403 - The wildlife of Nickerson State Park
In all my years of camping and doing field work around the US I never knew that flying squirrels could be camp scavengers.
Wed, 21 Aug 2024 - 402 - The birding action moves to the beaches of Cape Cod
The birds, being well-versed in Shakespeare, know that all the world’s a stage. Maybe not, but what they do know is that some of the world’s a staging area, and one of the most important staging areas is right here on the Cape and Islands.
Wed, 14 Aug 2024 - 401 - The long-haul travelers of the shoreline
In case you haven’t heard, the Globetrotters are in town. Not the basketball ones, in case you thought of them first for some reason - I’m talking about the actual globe trotters, the Arctic-nesting shorebirds.
Wed, 07 Aug 2024 - 400 - Cultivating a love of butterflies
Let’s face it, insects suffer from a likeability deficit akin to that of most politicians, what with the biting and the disease transmission and the landing on your food right when you’re about to eat it and all. But I think we can all get behind butterflies, those harmless, even beneficial, and undeniably beautiful ambassadors for the insect world.
Wed, 31 Jul 2024 - 399 - Great birds in an odd place
About 20 years ago I was doing bird surveys for my graduate research all through the Cape Cod National Seashore – I had over 300 survey points from Fort Hill in Eastham to Wood End in Provincetown, and I knew the park, including deep, off-trail areas, as well as anyone.
Wed, 24 Jul 2024 - 398 - The flamingo is back. A beautiful stranger returns to Cape CodWed, 17 Jul 2024
- 397 - A special grassland habitat right here on Cape Cod
On Monday, though it’s full-on tourist season and many of my local friends had been putting out “shelter in place” warnings on social media, I bravely ventured from the Lower Cape to deep in the heart of the Upper Cape.
Wed, 10 Jul 2024 - 396 - A coastal sparrow that is trying to beat the odds
Recently, Mass Audubon has turned its conservational gaze upon an inconspicuous and imperiled coastal resident. This saltmarsh sprite lives life on the edge, only nesting in the daily-flooded coastal marshes from southern Maine to Chesapeake Bay, where they struggle to complete their nesting cycle between the monthly high tides.
Wed, 03 Jul 2024 - 395 - A fly-by-night flycatcher and more kite sights
While kite-o-rama continues on the Cape, with both kite species still turning up from Mashpee to Harwich, the Vineyard scored this week with an even less likely bird with a long, bifurcated tail.
Wed, 26 Jun 2024 - 394 - Swallow-tailed kites are getting comfortable on Cape Cod
Mid-June is kind of like the slack tide in the Cape ornithological calendar. Songbird and shorebird migration are over, with most birds now busy breeding across the Northern Hemisphere.
