OK so I am on Cape Cod (I am doing some work on my Mom's house)

But one does "have" to go birding !!  here’s is the list from eBird. Pretty handy (I just learned from Kathy T.) how to do this.

South Beach and sort of North Monomoy is an IBA, a WHSRN site, and a fun place to bird. I hired a boat shuttle and the tide was going out (not the best case scenario).

He "dropped" me off in water, literally up to my waist.  Then as I walked it got shallower, 0.5 mile in the water just to get to land.  Fun !
