GOOD HARBOR BEACH SUNRISE SCENES AND PIPING PLOVER NEST!
An approximately six foot in diameter protective barrier has been installed around the plover’s nest. This is a huge relief as many of us have noticed dog tracks in the cordoned off area. The plover’s don’t seem to mind the wire construct and go about their morning routine, running through the spaces between the wire grid as if the barrier had always been in place. In the above photo, you can see a plover sitting on its nest between the two clumps of grass within the enclosure.
Every morning the plover’s switch places several times, with both parents taking turns sitting on the nest, while the other leaves the restricted area to feed at the shoreline and bath in the tide pools. The above photo was taken on the 13th of June, before the barrier was put in place. There are minimal tacks around the nest site, so it would be logical to assume the nest was very recently established. The photo below, taken on the 15th, show many more tracks and it looks like there are three eggs.
Nest on the 16th, I only see two eggs however I think the plovers move the eggs around in the nest. And too, my camera lens is zoomed all the way, and the image is cropped.
This morning the plovers were easily slipping through the wires.

Edward Hopper and Gloucester Featured at North Carolina Museum of Art. Marks of Genius from the Minneapolis institute of Art Travel Show.
A rare Edward Hopper drawing of East Main Street, Gloucester, is part of a comprehensive exhibit, “Marks of Genius”, masterpieces from the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) on view at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) through June 19th. These wonders of process traveled to the Grand Rapids Art Museum in Michigan before Raleigh. The next stop will be the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. The Hopper is featured at every venue, and so is Gloucester.
The NCMA installed the drawings in their largest special exhibition space by subject rather than chronologically, the design choice of other venues.
How do I know? Exhibitions Assistant, Margaret Gaines, was kind enough to share details and photographs of the museum and its beautiful Meymandi Exhibition Gallery in the East Building so that we could all armchair art gawk. (I smiled when I read that East Main Street is in the East building of this East coast museum.) “Gloucester” is written on the museum label along with my research and color photograph.
Here’s another photograph pulled back to compare the house with the Hopper sketch and choices.
“American Impressionist: Childe Hassam and the Isle of Shoals” is up at the same time. Childe Hassam has Gloucester and Massachusetts ties, but I didn’t ask to see pictures of that exhibit. Though “Marks of Genius” won’t be coming any closer to Massachusetts than North Carolina, the Hassam show is coming to the Peabody Essex Museum on July 16th, 2016. The North Carolina Museum of Art partnered with PEM. I wouldn’t miss it.

That Melissa Cox, She’s One of the Good Ones
Not only is she a good sport, but she’s generous too.
Melissa agreed, thanks to a $500 request, to be tossed into the pool in the name of charity.
That $500 will go to a charity set up to help the Orlando shooting victims and their families.
You just never know what you’re going to run into when you meet up with a friend for a drink in Gloucester. While I missed the actual splash…I landed on the roof top deck in time to see a wet, chilly, but still smiling Melissa Cox spreading cheer the way she always does.
Thanks so much to Christopher Sicuranza for capturing and sharing the moment…and to Melissa for allowing me to post it. Thanks also to Steven LeBlanc for “the push” and Sean Nolan for stepping up big with the $500 donation.
(and, how about that roof top pool area!) #Beauport Hotel
