Cape Cod Birds – Devoted to birds and birding on Cape Cod

Welcome to Cape Cod Birds!

A web site devoted to birds and birding on Cape Cod

Here you will find information on avian research and surveys that have been conducted in the area (e.g., Christmas Bird Counts and Breeding Bird Surveys); photos and details on local vagrants, hybrids, and other oddballs; information on birding on Cape Cod; a bibliography of Cape Cod ornithology; photo galleries of Cape Cod birds; and links to other sites of interest to local birders.

This site was created and is maintained by Blair Nikula, a native Cape Codder with over 60 years of birding experience on the Cape. These pages likely will remain in a state of perpetual development — at least for my lifetime!
