Working outside and spending time with other Bird Nerds is an ideal way to begin the week.  I have a few photos stored up from previous walks, both Tuesday Tweets with the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, as well as Monday Morning Bird Walks through the Green Briar Nature Center in East Sandwich.

Thanks to Don for suggesting I try out blogger to be able to streamline the sharing of our bird lists and photos from each walk!  I greatly appreciate the input!








These photos above are from Tuesday Tweets at Cape Cod Museum of Natural History on 7.16.2013. We were treated to the rare morning sighting of a Great Horned Owl!  Those Northern Mockingbirds certainly gave her/him away in the pitch pine.  Others we spied that morning:
Tufted Titmouse
Black-capped Chickadee
Osprey
Song Sparrow
American Goldfinch
Mourning Dove
Barn Swallow
European Starling
American Robin
Eastern Towhee

We heard:
