Cape Cod Bird Photography around Wellfleet

[rick_tyrseck]

<p>Looking for some summer locations where I could capture shore birds, Herons, Egrets, etc. I am vacationing just north of Wellfleet so I want to limit my area from Orleans up to Provincetown. I will have a effective focal length lens of up to 640mm (400 x 1.6 Canon crop) Appreciate the input.</p>

<p>For general scenic photography Orleans to Provincetown is where there is an abundance of shooting locations compared to the 'elbow to armit' region. As to the intended subject, any non-busy water area has good potential. Protected non vehicular traffic areas of the National Seashore will tend to have many terns and plovers such as the north spit of Nauset Beach. Learning where to park for such places is another issue. The National Seashore area in Eastham has lots of easy access though and a mix of different water environments.</p>

<p>All though it is a little bit west of your target area, I have had good luck in the past at Mass. Audubon's Long Pasture Sanctuary in Barnstable (see: <a href="http://www.massaudubon.org/get-outdoors/wildlife-sanctuaries/long-pasture">http://www.massaudubon.org/get-outdoors/wildlife-sanctuaries/long-pasture</a>).</p>

<p>Now that I live in New Hampshire, I haven't been there is a few years but I used to go regularly when I lived on the north side of the canal.</p>
