My View of Life on the Dock
The tiny “Little Auk” has been on our shores for several days and this morning I was finally able to take a few good snapshots. It dips and bobs in a funny manner, weaving back and forth, up and down the channel, before using its wings to deeply dive for small fish and crustaceans.
The Dovekie is the smallest member of the auk (puffin) family. A bird of the open Atlantic Ocean that breeds on Islands in the high Arctic, Dovekies are only seen during winter months in New England.
Too this from Rafe’s Chasm on Sunday, so clear.

This, of course, is the historic 18th century barn located within the construction site for the new Essex police and fire station. Fundraising efforts are underway to preserve the barn and hopefully reconstruct it at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum. If you are interested in donating, here’s a web address: http://www.essexshipbuilding.org/barn-rescue. It’s a wonderful old barn along the byway!
