Hi Joey,

Yesterday (Wednesday 7/12), there was a beautiful Northern Gannet sitting right at the water line, kind of halfway between boardwalk #1 and the Witham St end of Good Harbor, where I was sitting.  It was clearly in distress, it lifted its head a few times, and tried to stand up, but it was in obvious need of help.  The lifeguards kept people away from it, so as not to stress it out, and called for help.  Gloucester Police Animal Control came and made a rescue of the bird at about 3:30, carrying it off to their van, telling it they were taking it off to the vet.  (I was so impressed by how humanely they were treating the poor thing, talking to it in calm, reassuring voices, etc.)

I am wondering if anyone has any kind of update about how the bird is doing.

I am wondering if it is suffering from the same mysterious disease that has taken the life of 100+ Northern Gannets on the Cape.

Have they taken it off to the New England Wildlife Center?

Is this the first of the Northern Gannets suffering from this mysterious illness to turn up in Gloucester?

Any idea?

Thanks,

Ann Rittenburg

Foster’s Grill Store is celebrating its 51st year in business offering leading brand gas, charcoal and wood pellet grills, accessories, gifts, expert delivery and assembly and even outdoor kitchens. Owners, Susan (Foster) and Billy Aaron are local homeowners, parents and active supporters of many initiatives that serve to better the community, so the decision to go green was an easy one.

It has been a choice the Aarons are already very happy to have made. “Going solar makes sense to us as a business, as community members and, especially, as parents,” says Sue of their recent solar installation.

“We know that solar energy is better for the environment so it’s obviously better for our kids, now and as they get older. And the savings and rewards for producing solar energy just make sense,” Billy added.

What was even easier than deciding to install the panels the Aarons soon found, was the process for getting them in place.

“The Cazeault team could not have made this any simpler or less stressful, and it was a big project, at least in our minds,” said Sue. “We honestly have never experienced service like we have working with Tim and Sam. The whole thing was just painless. That’s definitely something worth celebrating.”

And celebrate they will. Come on by for a bite and check out this exciting new project.
