Confirmed bird sightings on the Outer Cape in the week preceding the Independent’s deadline on Tuesday, Jan. 28 included the following, based on a report prepared by Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Spotted Towhee continued at the Provincetown Airport this week.

Nothing from the rest of the Outer Cape towns. Come on people, birdwatching improves mental health, according to a 2022 article in Alpha Psychiatry in the collection of the N.I.H.’s National Library of Medicine, which as of this writing apparently still exists.
