Though Black-capped Chickadees are non-migratory, many warblers will follow them when foraging. As a "nuclear" species in mixed-species foraging flocks, chickadees are watchful for predators like hawks and owls, and shout graded alarm calls that signal the level of danger nearby!

Enjoy the New England Aquarium's terrific story of saving "Munchkin", the 300 pound loggerhead that we and the NPS rescued on Great Island in Wellfleet last November. Happy to report Munchkin is looking... facebook.com/MassAudubonWel…

This Cape May Warbler is only the 6th individual caught in Wellfleet Bay’s history! This hatch-year male also has an interesting deformity — notice the slightly crossed bill. #CapeMayWarblerInCapeCod

Our first Wilson's Warbler of the season is a dapper Hatching-year Male. This species always reminds me of Colorado where they breed in the high country willow marshes and beaver ponds.

American Redstart captured this morning. This Hatching-year Male will not adopt its classic black and orange plumage until its second fall.

Cape May Warblers see huge population fluctuations based upon Spruce Budworm outbreaks. The population is currently WAY UP and this week may be your best opportunity to see one on Cape Cod in the last 10+ years.

Yellow-breasted Chats are a hard to classify species. They mimic calls, so they may be mimids, they are yellow and green, so they may be warblers, the spectacles, coloration and attitude suggest Vireos, but the DNA suggests accentors (an old world group). What do you think?

Lincoln's Sparrows are very secretive during migration and can be a tough bird to see, but they are strikingly crisp when you actually get a good look at one, having it in the hand certainly helps.

Our first cold-stunned sea turtles of the fall have been recovered! This is our volunteer Tim O'Brien at Brewster's Breakwater Beach with the folks who found a live Kemp's ridley this morning. This turtle is heading now to the New England Aquarium for medical care and rehab!

Wellfleet Bay Audubon Sanctuary worker Jess Ciarcia measures a cold stunned loggerhead turtle during an exam after being recovered about a mile up the beach at Sandy Neck ahead of the incoming tide on Thursday morning. The animal weighed 36 pounds. Cape Cod Times

You never know what's going to wash up on the beaches of Cape Cod. My eagle-eyed 5-year-old just spotted this guy, a cold-stunned Kemp's ridley turtle, the world's most endangered sea turtles. We called it in, and someone from Mass Audubon came to rescue it and take it to New England Aquarium.

Here's the full story of one lucky sea turtle, and the boy (my son) who saved him. bostonglobe.com/2021/11/29/sci… via The Boston Globe

Featuring the incredible work of Turtles Fly Too, NOAA, Mass Audubon, Padre Island N.S., Wellfleet Bay WS, & more.

Today, 79 rehabilitated #SeaTurtles were flown to facilities in NY, NJ & FL to continue their recovery! With lots of cold-stunned turtles stranding on Cape Cod, the transport makes room for new arrivals to our Sea Turtle Hospital. There, our team has cared for nearly 400 so far!

2:08; 3:16; 4:12 2/26 It's hatching! What we see begins with a single pip (or hole) in the egg as the chick begins to work its way out of the egg. The chick starts to breathe external air through these cracks, this encourages it to make more. Watch live: AllAboutBirds.org/Cahows
