POOR LITTLE BABY SEAL AT NILES BEACH
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.

Domestic Pigeon At Maritime Gloucester
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,
