Mergansers and Shalin Liu — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Totally unrelated – Testosterone levels are rising in the Hooded Merganser population. And Anne-Lise and I had a great evening out in Rockport at “A Tribute to a Charlie Brown Christmas.”

On Niles Pond, the guys are already eyeing the female Hooded Mergansers.
“Time to test out my dance in front of the women.” No reaction.
Another male gives it a try. Same result. “I guess it’s not mating season yet.”
Off in a corner, still another male is ready for his practice run.
Excellent form, good height.
His landing could stand a little work. I gave him an 8.5.
We began our Rockport evening with a fine dinner at Fleur Cuisine Harborside.
Then to the Shalin Liu Performane Center, for David Benoit’s ‘Charlie Brown’ production.
David Benoit, piano; Courtney Fortune, vocals; Roberto Vally, base; Daniel Schnelle, drums.
Joined by the Cape Ann Youth Chorus, and Cape Ann Arts Alive Singers.
A highlight was the solo by Perry Ramsden. Courtney loves it.
“That was incredible.”
