Ten Years Ago Today Good Morning Gloucester Was Launched And we’re Still Going Strong
Ten years of laughter.
ten years of teamwork.
Ten years of friendships.
Ten years of reporting.
Ten years of love.
Ten years of community service.
57,761 posts published.
117,962,797 views (I started the feed stats a couple seeks after the blog was launched. The blog was launched December 17, 2007. The feed stats service was enabled January 19th, 2008).
Brick by brick. From the first month when we reached 100 views per day ad was excited, then 1000 a day after a year or so of putting the link to the blog in front of as many people I could, then adding great people as contributors, 5000, 10,0000, 20,000 four years in, 30,000 and now where we are now averaging around 45,000 views per day based in a city of 30,000. What a gift it’s been to all of us. Mainly the friendships. You could take it all away and those friendships are the most valuable to me. We’ve been through a lot. We’ve lost loved ones, we’ve garnered national attention, won a ton of awards, fought the good fight, but at the end of the day it’s the people- the friendships, the love shared and the passion for highlighting the best our city has to offer. It’s the people. It’s you guys. It’s the community.
Here’s to another 10 years of passionate community love and collaboration.
10 Years In-

Updated: The Latest Banded Seagull From The Gulls of Appeldore project Photographed At Captain Joe and Sons Band 3YN Photographed 2:20 12/15/17
Bill Clark, Volunteer, Gulls of Appledore writes back after I reported the sighting:
Joey,
Thanks for the report and photo link for GBBG 3Y9.
3Y9 is a young adult Great Black-backed Gull banded July 15, 2014. Great Black-backed Gulls nest for the first time in their fourth of fifth year so 3Y9 may join the nesting colony on Appledore Island this summer.
We have no reports for 3Y9 since the gull was banded by Justin Stilwell, then a student, now Dr. Stilwell a veterinarian. At the time of banding 3Y9 was a chick at nest 14G518 on Appledore Island just getting ready to fly.
You have scored a ‘FIRST’ with this report. Your report is important since it indicates that 3Y9 has survived the tough juvenile years.
Some gulls disperse as far as Texas, Florida, Nova Scotia, or Quebec while others stay closer to New England. Reports such as your are providing information about their travels and gathering places; information of interest to health workers, veterinarians, wildlife managers, airports, and others.
The long-term project on Appledore continues to serve several college and university research studies. Started in 2004 it continues as a field training program for students as well as providing ‘known age’ gulls and research samples such as DNA and feathers for cooperating researches.
Again, thanks for the report and photo link.
Bill Clark, Volunteer, Gulls of Appledore
