Annie and Squam are back — pat morss

Our Ospreys on the Annisquam River, next to Lobstaland, are back on their regular nesting platform, and Essex County Greenbelt’s live camera is back in operation. Visit their website at ecga.org/Osprey-Cam to see the action and read the updates on what’s been going on, this year and last. Here are a few screen shots from the camera.

Squam, flying in here, has been taking the lead on the nest building
They are cooperating well on this annual routine
Here Annie is resting on the perch the at the left while Squam does some heavy lifting
Time out for mating, as Greenbelt promised this week.

We met these people at Stone’s Pub Who Were Visiting and Asked Us What Were Some Fun Things To Do

We sent them with a list based on my recommendations I replied in a post last week from @nicholeschrafft

YOU HAVE FRIENDS IN TOWN FOR 24 HOURS WHO HAVE NEVER VISITED CAPE ANN BEFORE, WHAT DO YOU DO?

Bex Borden and Scottie Mac In The Mix!
I missed out o adding Maritime Gloucester but that would be on the list as well.

Here’s a text chain screen video of some of the things I quickly referenced for them including tonight Over The Bridge playing at Minglewood! Press play on the video to view:

Showtimes Added for CODA

Yes, you DO want to see CODA on the big screen (in case you were wondering). Even if you have already streamed it, it’s a different show on the big screen. If you have company in town, they REALLY need to see CODA while they are here. That is also a special part of the experience. Gloucester Cinema on Essex Ave sells tickets online and they will be available through April 21. It’s a no-brainer.
