For some reason this year I am pining for the return of the ospreys, more than ever before.
I cannot WAIT to hear their cries fill our salty skies once again, watch them as they raise their families against all odds.
It won’t be long now, and THIS little guy…
Will be getting an eviction notice on his winter rental…
From the summer osprey occupants, upon their return back to the Wychmere South nest! 😉
I’ve always been a sucker for a bird on a wire….
And when it comes to Kingfishers, I always seems to “catch” them on the fly when I am driving.
Fortunately, this Lady was engrossed in her fishing expedition, and so I was able to capture a few stolen moments…
More to come of this Lovely Lady! ❤
I could have SO easily gotten rear-ended, but I could not resist pulling over to the side of the road and leaning out the window for this cutie!
For your viewing pleasure, one of our glorious Lady Kingfishers of Red River!
And don’t you just LOVE the DOO??
Yes, I do.
And the magic that is so uniquely and noisily and charmingly… Kingfisher. ❤
Good morning and welcome to Sunday Best here at Images of Cape Cod!
I have 6 worthy contestants for you today and I am excited to present them to you, one by one.
Contestant #1, the Great Egret, seen earlier this week soaring out beyond the channel at Mill Landing as if pulled by the sea.
Contestant #2, this Green Heron, standing up on tippy toes as tall and bright-eyed as any I’ve ever seen!
Contestant #3, the Kingfisher surveying his domain from on high, scolding me as always because I stayed too long to admire… 😉
Contestant #4, the tiny Song Sparrow, ever present in the marsh when I arrive and when I leave, whose tiny frame belies his glorious Pavarotti tones.
Contestant #5, this slate gray Bullfrog seen right outside my door this week, clearly enjoying his Saturday off.
And finally Contestant #6, the noble Seagull with his keen eagle eye, scoping the calm waters for any signs of dinner!
There you have them, your lineup for today.
Pick your favorite and let me know it in the Reply/Comment box.
Happy Sunday!
Sally
