“A Cape Cod Destination Icon For 40 Years”
Ken, sent us this photo of a Dovekie, a tiny seabird he found in Truro. Only about the size of a cardinal (a fat cardinal) Dovekies usually live far out at sea, but occasional winter storms (or food) brings them in closer, where Ken was waiting with his camera. For more on Dovekies, check out my column about them…if you want.
For the last four decades we have sponsored a team (The Bird Watcher’s) in the Cape Cod Senior Softball League. And, because we sponsor the team, I felt certain they would let me play with them. However, when asked them about joining, they told me I was too old. Maybe...
In case you missed it, Up-up, Wild Care’s screech-owl paid us a visit today. The small but serious bird posed for photos and selfies, and even answered a few questions. Up-up had such a good time it promised to come see us again. We’ll post the details of its next...
This Saturday, November 25th, "Up-Up," the Eastern Screech-Owl and a crew from Wild Care will be visiting us from 10:00-12:00. Although Up-Up isn’t scheduled to arrive until 11:00. Apparently, Up-Up needs extra beauty sleep.
With nearly 600 hats filled, our annual Free Hatful of Potatoes Day was once again a big hit, especially with this particular group. I’m not sure exactly who they are, but they win the award for having the best smiles of the day.

In the forty years we have been in business we have seen a lot of folks come and go. Some have simply moved away, while others have ultimately left this world entirely. It’s something we have come to expect…but we didn’t expect to lose one of our own. Long before he...
Ned and Laura, from Springfield, VA have just sent us this colorful photo of Ned sporting a 2019 BWGS shirt, from the Waipo'o Falls-Waimea Canyon Trail, Kōkeʻe State Park, Kauai, Hawaii. (Ned is also wearing a Boston Red Sox hat. Clearly he is having a much better...
Here’s a T-shirt photo we didn’t expect. While on a troll hunt in Copenhagen (seriously), Matt came upon Captain Nalle (seen here with a beard). Matt says he helped the good Captain pull his boat ashore, which wasn’t easy since it appears to be low tide. Great...
After months of incubation, hatching and growing, a brand new Osprey chick is ready to take flight from her nest in our back parking lot. Growing up between the dumpsters, delivery trucks and asphalt, the little bird proved once again that dedicated parents are far...
In celebration of Suzanne’s birthday (I’m not sure which one, but 23rd would be my guess) she and Steve took a trip to the Galapagos Islands. Not only did they have a great time, but they started a fashion trend on the Galapagos. Awesome photos you two…and happy...
