It's been decades since we spent time on the Cape in June, mainly because our annual family weeks are in August. This was a Father's Day gift.
June is better. Too early for swimming, but perfect for the outdoor fun that August is too warm for. No skeeters. Also, few vacationers. The birding is better in August, with all of the travellers heading down from the north. Still, Eagles and Ospreys and nesting herons. Nothing special except the Terrapins digging their eggs and the fox trying to find their nests for breakfast eggs.
We opted for a marsh-side cottage on Lieutenant Island, a quiet corner which is only accessible during lower tides.
More pics etc below the fold -
Our marsh-front place
Hike through Great Island - no bugs! We did an ocean hike too and, of course, the Cape Cod Rail Trail.
More Spit Bugs, aka Spittle Bugs, than I've ever seen anywhere
Our home marsh. At this time of year, the Terrapins come to the sandy spots to lay their eggs, and the fox searches for them for breakfast.
