ive said it before and ill say it again
the winter birding in provincetown 
and on the cape and islands is spectacular.
and the wintering waterfowl in particular,
are gorgeous resilient creative often hilarious, 
and wildly skilled in too many ways to count.
and bc of this
its always a thrill for me to stroll around provincetown, and particularly the harbor and around macmillan pier during the winter months.
and it almost feels like birding cheating.
bc all you have to do is go there, and look at the water and boom you are a birder birding, 
sometimes even seeing rare guests. 
and i think about this when im coming back home after a minute away,
like by the time i see the yellow house on conwell 
im basically minutes away from seeing some of my very favorite creatures, who inevitably will be brilliantly attired and effortlessly soaring overhead or floating along with their beloveds, alternately gossiping singing or planning dinner. 
some days i swear i hear them call out
