Coyote on Ice
I realize coyote sightings are not uncommon, but this was our first close coyote encounter. We watched this coyote for several minutes navigate the ice, have a rest and a drink then move on its way. We were in the vicinity of the Klondike water treatment facility. The coyote seemed relaxed, though I was a little nervous.

East Gloucester’s Three Legged Coyote Sighted Twice Yesterday
I’ve seen this coyote all over East Gloucester (unless there are more than one three legged coyotes running around).
It’s very comfortable around automobiles.

Long Beach seawall to be replaced #RockportMA in the news
Michael Cronin piece in today’s Gloucester Daily Times, “Long Beach seawall to be replaced: Rockport must pay 25% of $2.6M Long Beach project”- here
ROCKPORT — Work to replace more than 400 feet of Long Beach’s dilapidated seawall is expected to start next year.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced last month it will cover 75% of the project’s estimated $2,580,000 cost through Public Assistance Program funding via the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency “to reconstruct a seawall, revetment, and beach access stairs.”
“The 25% matching funds will need to be approved at Town Meeting,” said Rockport Public Works Director Joe Parisi. “It will be included in an article at this spring’s Town Meeting.”
From there, the town will pursue hiring a construction company to do the work. Parisi said design and permitting would begin this year and construction will most likely start in 2022.

The sand came by rail from NH then by truck (carted by Bentley Warren trucking, Ipswich). The staging was from the Gloucester edge.

I find the annual sand migration on Long Beach a fascinating natural mystery. It’s dramatic every year.
