Nichole’s Picks 2/20 +2/21
Pick #1: The New England Boat Show
We had a fantastic time at the boat show yesterday and it is a great way to spend a day. We find that most of the boat dealers have the patience of saints with the kids as they climb, explore, and dream onboard the boats.
It helps that adults are only $15 and children under 15 years of age are totally FREE

Pick #2: Dave and Buster’s is Now in Woburn
My boys LOVE it here. We’ve hiked to the Braintree location and even all the way to Providence. Now that there is a new location open in Woburn….I’m guessing we’ll clock much more time hitting the games. Dave and Buster’s is full of really great grown-up games…it is no Chuck E. Cheese. The kids are still going to rack up points or tickets and are still going to score some “stuff” that you don’t really need junking up your house, but at least the games are a blast…even for the parents. The restaurant is pretty good too.

WHEN SWANS DRINK SALTWATER, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SALT?
Several weeks ago, in response to a question sent in by a reader that asked can swans drink seawater, we responded yes, because just above the eyes and under the skin, they have a gland that removes salt from their blood stream and concentrates it in a solution that is excreted from their nostrils. In the photo below, you can see sunlight coming through the nare holes, which are near the base of the bill. When the swan shakes its head, the salt is removed through the nares. Most species of birds have nare holes, which lead to the nasal cavity within the skull, which is part of the respiratory system.
Please join us Thursday night at the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck. For more information on my illustrated talk”Beautiful Birds of Cape Ann” visit this post here.

Ocean Effect Snow
The same morning earlier this week that everyone was out photographing gorgeous images of sea smoke, I took this photo. While we didn’t receive new snow fall during the night, the homes and landscape at the end of our street were covered with ocean effect snow early the next morning. It was kind of cool to see.
