I share this with y'all thinking CC is a fun place to visit and there is a
rather nice variety of birds we don't usually have, or much of.

 

We were basically in "residence" Thursday -Saturday noon.  There is coastal
birding and there are some fine kettle hole freshwater ponds.

 

Basically the dabblers feed on freshwater, divers (and sea ducks) feed on
the ocean/ coast.  I try to mix driving with different habitats.

 

56 species total.   44 on Will (son)and my  trip to P-town and vicinity.
Weather was phenomenal  !  62 degrees in P-town, rather user friendly.

 

 

Hyannis south shore, Marston's Mills,, Corporation Beach, Dennis, Bass River
Gun Club, Dennis, P-town vicinity.

 

Highlight:    1 Gr. Shearwater, 1 Red-thr.Loon  both 100 yards off shore
near P-t.

 

52 species all toll.   Hightlights:   in Phylogenetic order, sort of.
Total #'s are close.
