POOR LITTLE BABY SEAL AT NILES BEACH

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

The little seal pup was seen today washed ashore at Niles Beach. He couldn’t have been more than three feet in length. From Maine to Massachusetts, more than six hundred dead or dying Gray and Harbor Seals have been reported this summer.

Two Humpback Whales washed ashore on Massachusetts beaches in a single day, one on Little Brewster Island in Boston Harbor and one on Revere Beach. The Revere Beach Humpback is the same whale that was spotted off Gloucester several weeks ago. Last week, two dead Minke Whales were found floating in the waters off Gloucester and Sea Bright, New Jersey. Another Minke Whale washed ashore in Rye, New Hampshire earlier this past week.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The third annual Cape Ann Plein Air Arts Festival and Competition is nearly here!

Please click on the link below and find the Gala Night ticket links. There are 2: the Premiere Party is $150 per ticket and those tickets are extremely limited, so if you’d like to get up close and personal with the artists and see their art in a more intimate setting, those tickets are for you. The Gala tickets are $65 ea from now until 9.30, and $75 after that. The cost of your ticket can be taken off the price of a painting when you buy one.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I am the Project Manager this year and would love to have you support the eveny (and me!)

Domestic Pigeon At Maritime Gloucester

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,

This little guy showed up at Maritime Gloucester yesterday and is still here today. We’ve managed to give it some water. It has two leg bands, one has the number 4101. We think it is a domesticated pigeon who is lost. We’d love to know how to help it or who might be best to contact. Would you mind putting this out to the community to see if anyone knows who to contact?

Thanks,

Mary F Kay
