Spring Scallops — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

People here are focused on the short April scallop season, but spring continues in other ways too.

The fleet, mostly down from Maine and New Hampshire, is headed in and out 24/7.
‘Kingfisher’ landed her catch at Cape Ann Lobstermen in East Gloucester.
At the pier, the gear looks pretty complicated.
Shucked and bagged scallops are weighed for payment.
Then packed in ice and loaded indoors for processing.
The parade continues during the night.
Meanwhile the Mallards are mating on Niles Pond.
The male celebrates with quick laps around the mother-to-be.
Five of our deer overpopulation prance across the road.
Is this how high they can reach at dinner time?
It’s spring, so why not a few more snow showers a week into April?
