- 387 - A nearby island where the birds are in charge
This past weekend I was lucky enough to get in on an overnight junket to the island of Penikese, at the far end of the Elizabeths chain, courtesy of Dr. Andrew Gillis of the Marine Biological Lab and our hosts, the Penikese School.
Wed, 01 May 2024 - 386 - The surprising things that hummingbirds eatWed, 24 Apr 2024
- 385 - Let's talk about that flood of spring overshoot migrants
The first hummingbird was reported on the Cape, as expected for mid-April, but this eagerly anticipated annual event was overshadowed by spring overshoot fever — southerly winds brought, well, a windfall of rare birds to the Cape and Islands.
Wed, 17 Apr 2024 - 384 - Keep an eye and ear out for the uncommon birds of April
April isn’t my favorite month in the birding calendar, especially when its weather barely outperforms bleakest March, but it has its charms – the first hummingbirds and seabird migration among them.

- 382 - A royal is visiting us from the Arctic
You probably haven’t seen anything in the news about it, but I have reliable intel that a royal has quietly taken up residence on Cape Cod. In the Sagamore area, away from the gaze of paparazzi, a prince is spending some time along the canal and trying to blend in with the locals.
Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 381 - Early birds on Cape CodWed, 20 Mar 2024
- 380 - Waxwing poetic
On two occasions over the last week I found myself driving slowly around some back streets in Yarmouth Port, craning my neck, looking like a cat burglar casing the neighborhood. Or more likely around here, an overly aggressive realtor looking to pounce on a potential new listing.
Wed, 13 Mar 2024 - 379 - Woodcocks and more signs of spring
As the season of mud settles in, this seems like a good time to talk about one if its biggest stars. This worm slurping dumpling of a bird dances its way back into our lives each March, when the aerial displays of the male become staple program fodder for nature centers and bird clubs everywhere.
Wed, 06 Mar 2024 - 378 - Solitaire and mixed spring signals
I’ve been getting a lot of mixed signals from Mother Earth lately. On my early morning walk yesterday I saw an optimistic chipmunk, then a freshly dead garter snake that probably should have stayed in bed another two months.
Wed, 28 Feb 2024 - 377 - Red Knots and horseshoe crabs
As I write this, Red Knots feel very far away. To be more precise, 7000 miles and three months away. These Arctic nesting shorebirds are marathon migrators, traveling from well above the Arctic circle to wintering areas at the other end of the planet each year.
Wed, 21 Feb 2024 - 376 - Birds in love
It’s Valentine's Day, which means it’s time to sort through the picked over remains of the greeting cards to find the least groanworthy one. But us people aren’t the only ones suffering though – I mean reveling in love this time of year – it’s also courtin’ season for many species of birds.
Wed, 14 Feb 2024 - 375 - Be on the lookout for ducks and eagles
This past weekend I was tasked with leading a duck and eagle safari on behalf of the remarkable Harwich Conservation Trust. With a full roster of 15 hopeful birdwatchers, my plan was to check various spots around the big pond complex in Harwich and Brewster, a great area to see winter ducks and the eagles that eat them.
Wed, 07 Feb 2024 - 374 - An ode to a sparrow
Yesterday was a typical Tuesday. I was working at my desk at Wellfleet Bay sanctuary, while trickling through the back of my mind was that little stream of anxiety about what this week’s bird report should be about.
Wed, 31 Jan 2024 - 373 - Snow birds, and yet another wayward westerner
This time the snow stuck. It was the perfect snow – not enough to shovel but enough to fuel a weekend of sledding and several days of successful wildlife tracking.
Wed, 24 Jan 2024 - 372 - Wayward westerners
Yesterday morning I thought I might make this week’s piece about birding in snow, then, in true Cape Cod fashion, that lovely snow was gone within a few hours.
Wed, 17 Jan 2024 - 371 - Delightful visitors have arrived on Cape Cod
On a frozen morning last week I stopped to sort through ducks at Town Cove in Orleans, a place that accumulates all sorts of waterfowl when other spots start to freeze.
Wed, 10 Jan 2024 - 370 - Birds of Christmas present(s)
While this is the season of Christmas Bird Counts, wherein highly trained hit squads of birders comb all the birdy hotspots and seldom visited back roads of the Cape and beyond, it is not correct to think of one of these counts as a complete census.
