Long Beach Dairy Maid should be opening this weekend.

Thanks to Joey, Pat, and Jim!

Thanks to Joey, Pat, and Jim for spending a couple of hours out of their very busy days to support Finn and his fellow cast members at their dress rehearsal of Kitchen Catastrophes at Gloucester Stage Company the other day. It means a lot that they were their to cheer him on! The cast went on to do two super successful performances on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Super proud of Finn for reaching pretty far out of his comfort zone!

Eagle with Prey Teaching Juvenile

We have been fortunate to come across this pair of eagles in the West Gloucester/Magnolia area. I feel pretty certain it is the same pair. The adult is sporting two bands so that’s a big clue. But I am feeling a little anxious about the other adult presumably part of this family since we haven’t seen a second adult yet. Anyhow, (thanks to a heads up from our landlord) we finally caught a pair hanging out on a dreary day recently. One was screeching quite loudly as we approached which is an amazing sound. As you will see, the adult took off with a branch as if for a nest.

The other photos are taken in West Gloucester a day or so later near the river. The adult seemed to be trying to teach the juvenile to hunt. It went out to the river, got a fish and brought it to shore. When the juvenile joined up, the adult wasn’t willing to share and landed in a tree very nearby where I was observing. You can see the prey in the eagle’s talons in this cropped image. Welcome back, my friends. Stay a while please. Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook has further details and images. Check it out and maybe give it a follow if you like what you see.
