BEYOND THE PANDEMIC Birding in Our Backyard: Singing the praises of Cape Ann’s winged aerialists with John Nelson, Kim Smith and Martin Ray
CAPE ANN — You don’t have to go far to find respite from the pandemic.
Literary Cape Ann’s first virtual event — on the eve of this summer’s long-awaited equinox — celebrates Cape Ann’s wealth of birds. Authors and naturalists John Nelson, Martin Ray and Kim Smith have spent years documenting the lives of birds. We’ll look at their distinctive calls, their brilliant aesthetics, their charming idiosyncrasies and, of course, their habitats. We’ll also talk about ways all of us can more deeply experience Cape Ann’s birds using observation, cameras, sketchpads, journals and checklists. Wildlife biologist Eric Hutchins will moderate.
All are invited, free of charge, to join us for a lively Zoom presentation on Friday, June 19, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.Families are welcome to attend together. We’ll chat, look at and listen to birds, and take time for your questions.
Our distinguished panel of author–naturalists will discuss the joys of birdwatching on Cape Ann. John Nelson will explain birdwatching basics and share key points in his new book, “Flight Calls: Exploring Massachusetts through Birds.” Martin Ray will talk about his popular blog, “Notes from Halibut Point,” and share experiences blogging about birds in that magical place. Kim Smith will share her own adventures chronicling Cape Ann’s vibrant bird life including shorebirds like the piping plover, the snowy owl and the Baltimore Oriole. Literary Cape Ann is pleased to host this special event that offers something fun and meaningful for families to do close to home during this challenging time.

Just click on the link around 6:25 p.m. on June 19 and someone from Literary Cape Ann will admit you to the event.

Conomo Point
We spent a couple of hours on Conomo Point the other day. It really is one of the most beautiful places I know. The layers of colors between the grass, sand, water, trees, and sky are breathtaking.

Oh Deer!
As I have mentioned several times, we have lots of wildlife right in our backyard and we watch all sorts of critters throughout the days and seasons. Recently, we were treated to a short deer story develop in the marsh. These two appeared in the late afternoon sun out in the marsh acting a little bit like strangers cautiously checking one another out. The smaller one approached the bigger one and got a hoof-cuff for its trouble. I understand this is one way white tailed deer express dominance. Looked to me like it worked………
Good Morning Gloucester
