FISHERMAN OF THE SKY

Posted on by Kim Smith

While filming PiPls, from high overhead came the shrilly distinct call of an Osprey. As majestic in flight as a Bald Eagle, he perused the beach and then circled back several times more. I wondered, is he coming for Piping Plover chicks or possibly the creche of Common Eider ducklings that was sweeping the shoreline for sea lettuce.


Creche of Common Eiders foraging for sea lettuce.

When I returned home I read Osprey pose very little threat to baby birds. Ninety-nine percent of their diet is fish and only rarely do they hunt other creatures, mostly when fish are not available. Commonly called Fish Hawk, Sea Hawk, and River Hawk, Osprey have evolved with such highly specialized physical characteristics to aid in hunting fish that they have been given their own taxonomic genus and family (Pandion haliaetus)

To learn more about Osprey, you may find John J. Audubon’s life history super interesting: Fish Hawk, or Osprey

Piping Plover chicks make easy targets for avian predators, but not Osprey 🙂

Sawyer Free Library was Rocking on Friday Night

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
The Sawyer Free Library (SFL) was rocking this past Friday night, June 20th when wizard rockers Harry and the Potter performed for more than 170 fans of all ages.  Kids, teens, adults, squibs and wizards, and witches danced and sang along to the band who played fan favorites and songs from their just-released album: Lumos. Emceeing the show was Tony Goddess, local rock and roll musician, and producer of Bang-a-Song Studios in Gloucester where Harry and the Potters recorded this newest album.  This show was the first stop in the band’s 60 city concert tour of public libraries across the USA. 
 
The concert which was made possible by the generous support of The Friends of the SFL kicked off the Library’s Summer Reading Program: A Universe of Stories which runs July – August.  The fun program challenges readers of all ages to read throughout the summer for the opportunity to earn great prizes. There also will be many free, educational, and entertaining programs for library patrons to attend, providing a productive option for long summer days.  For more information please visit sawyerfreelibrary.org.
