It was windy today, but the rain let up. We didn't let the marine forecast for "persisent northeast gales" deter us. We went for a short walk along the south side of Morris Island in Chatham, Massachusetts. Here's the view from Morris Island looking south towards South Beach (below). A lot of sand has shifted and things have changed quite a bit since I was last here in 2013!
We encountered a nice flock of shorebirds along the shoreline, including this Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus):
And a few juvenile Dunlin (Calidris alpina):
(With a Sanderling on the left for comparison)
We were sad to leave Cape Cod, but we'll be back!
