On the outer Cape as most Cape Codders know, spring comes later than on the mainland. Sea temperatures are cool from the long winter and warming comes very slowly. Notice the deep blue color on the image below indicating water temps in the 40s F. This "tongue" of cold water has occurred each of the past three years that we have been looking and others have told us they have seen it regularly here in the spring. As you can see the northern tip of it touches the area just south

As summer days turn into autumn here on Cape Cod the beautiful "Septober" environment blesses locals who get to celebrate the close of the hectic summer's passing. Mild temperatures, incredible color and the fall migration are just some of the treats we enjoy when home in Chatham. Check out these images we recorded on a flight to observe our home town from the air. We were reminded how special Cape Cod is...especially at this time of year. #chatham #shorebirds #thecommonflat
