“A Cape Cod Destination Icon For 40 Years”
Alison, and her BWGS shirt, travel more miles in a year than even an Arctic Tern*. Here’s her most recent photo. I’m not sure where she is, but it looks pretty cool. Keep going Alison.
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...
On May 28th, 1983, the first bird store of its kind opened in the big city of Orleans, MA. Not much has changed over the 40 years, except for some of the merchandise, most of the birdseed prices and, sadly, my hair color. Happy 40th anniversary to us, with a special...
The other day, our employee, Alex, shot this pic in her backyard where a pair of bluebirds are nesting. While the mother is incubating their next brood of eggs, the dad is busy feeding teenagers from the first brood that stubbornly deny employment and mooch off of his...

As many of you know, our friendly neighborhood mullet-wearing worker, Rocky, recently left us for a new job tending to dead people (as the Medical Examiner Assistant for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts). Although she will be missed, she is as dead to us as her new...
Ron bought a new squirrel-proof peanut feeder from us this week and then sent this action photo of a skirmish that broke out between an adult Red-winged Blackbird and a young usurper. Want to know who won? Rob won because he finally can feed his birds and not the...
Last year a pair of Osprey started building a nest on the platform behind our shop. But alas, there were never any eggs as these were young birds and not quite sure what to do next. Well, the same pair is back again this year and based on the photo I took yesterday,...
J. Aldridge, and his long-sleeve BWGS T-shirt is seen here washing dishes for the fifth graders at Truro’s National Environmental Education Development Academy (aka N.E.E.D.). We aren’t sure if J. was posing for this photo or was caught on the Academy’s security...
