POOR LITTLE DEAD RAZORBILL

Monday afternoon at Good Harbor Beach I found the little Razorbill washed ashore, up between the ice sheets at the high tide line. Thanks so much to Mike for sharing his story about the Razorbills he saw at the Dogbar Breakwater last week. I could identify it immediately because of Mike’s sighting. I hope so much the other Razorbill is surviving 🙂

I left him by the footbridge in case anyone else would like to see the Razorbill.

Another Super Exciting Wildlife Sighting- Two Razorbills at Eastern Point!

serious ass while she’s doing it. It is always an honor for me
to have the chance to sit in on such sharp material. Come
and join in on the fun, which starts, as always, at 7pm! ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!

Nip Litter taking over

At tonight’s City Council meeting a resolution will be discussed and [we hope] signed to send a message to the statehouse – it’s time to take action on nip litter.

A way to nix nip litter: Council considers resolution to add water, tiny liquor bottles to deposit bill

Back in the Day Main Street

The 1943 photographs taken by Gordon Parks for the Farm Security Administration have been discussed in previous Good Morning Gloucester posts but I just thought it might be interesting to show you one example of a view of Main Street in 1943 and one taken 2019. Very different and yet much the same. Other photos from this collection can be viewed here.
