Here’s a sampling of some unrelated goings on.

Fishing vessels are all different. Ocean Venture can rig as a seiner (above) or a trawler.
Onnered was built as a small tanker, and must now have Swedish fishing connections (see bow flag).
Brigantine Corwith Cramer approaches Gloucester in the haze, doing just fine under one squaresail.
Common Eider moms share their kids’ day care duties, at Raymond Beach.
This surely isn’t an Osprey. But, we heard one landed nearby recently at the Eastern Point Audubon Sanctury.
Turkey tightrope.
Young males practicing their tail display techniques.
We know daisies spread easily, but this is ridiculous.
“Why did you humans name a tick after me? It’s humiliating.”
Eddy Egret glides in over Niles Pond.
Performs a Moon fly-by.
And departs over the ocean.
