CAPE ANN VERNAL POND FIELD TRIP TONIGHT – THURSDAY APRIL 13TH

Greetings from the Pond Team…

We had a great field trip last night to Ravenswood Park. A few spotted sals seen migrating – even though it wasn’t raining the ground was still wet from the afternoon rain. Lots of peepers calling and breeding, good wood frog chorus. Lots of congressing sals in the pool. Spermatophores and eggs. Fairy shrimp, caddisfly larva, red-backed salamander and a predaceous diving beetle. What else do you need really?

Still need volunteers for next week’s snake shows.

I’m expecting some good action at the pools tonight, so there will be a field trip. Meet at Walgreen’s at 9 pm.
See you there, Rick

 

We are adding more photographs from the nighttime field trips so check them out…

Having a catch

This lab was having the best time tossing the ball around in the water all by himself and sunset last night at Annisquam.   I think I want to be a Lab in my next life….they are so energetic and full of life 😀   BLM_0884-Edit

“The Venice of America”

The boys were dying to see of the gorgeous homes and yachts along the intercoastal waterway during our two day pitstop in Fort Lauderdale.  They have a thing for boats of all sizes and are blooming wharf rats.  Seeing some of these large “mega yachts” up close was super fun for them.  And the homes…..my goodness.  No joke.

 

 

Vortex Burn Barrel Build and Operation

I got a 55 gallon steel drum at North Shore Scrap Metal a couple of days ago for use as a burn barrel.

After doing a little research and with a few DIY modifications I burned the brush in the yard pretty darn efficiently.

Before you attempt any of the you should consult the city website and Fire Station to be sure you pull a permit and are burning on a day the City allows burning.

First drilled holes using a half inch drill bit about 4-6 inches from the bottom of the barrel and about ten inches apart.

Then go up about six inches and over three and make more holes going around the barrel.

Also drill some holes in the bottom so water can escape and the burn barrel won’t rust out as quickly.

Next use a sawzall or jigsaw to cut the Barrel from hole to hole diagonally.

Next stick a hammer pulling end into the slot and pull it so there’s an opening for air to stoke your fire.

Prop your barrel up on bricks, make sure you are far from structures and keep a hose close by, wet down the surrounding area and start a small fire.

PINK MOON OVER GOOD HARBOR BEACH AND NILES POND

Why is the full moon in April called the Pink Moon? It’s not because it is pinker, but because wild woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata), one of the earliest native plants to flower, comes into bloom in many regions in April (and in May in other areas). April’s full moon is also called the Fish Moon, Egg Moon, and Sprouting Grass Moon. These names were assigned to the moons by native American tribes, which in turn passed them along to the early colonists.

WHERE DOES THE EASTER BUNNY DWELL?

At beautiful bunny cottage! The charming bunny houses at Nichols Candy House were made by Diane P. Don’t you love her imaginative details? Notice even the tiny blue eggs on the window frame and chimney

Nichols has vintage chocolate molds to celebrate every season. One year as a surprise, Barbara Nichols made me a very special Scotty dog, made from one of their antique molds. She’ll make one for you, too, by special order. The bunny in the foreground is made from a vintage mold.
