FOUL WEATHERED FIEND

Foul weathered fiend. Not so much actually, but I was going for alliteration. He’s far too cute to actually be called a “fiend.” I’ve driven by this skeleton several times and he has been ready for some lobstering even before this week’s nasty weather rolled in.

The 2021 Middle Street Walk will be held on Saturday, December 11, 2021.

Hank Heron is back — pat morss

Hank, our resident Great Blue Heron, has returned for the fall, and is putting up with this week’s bad weather.

He was escorted in by a squadron of gulls
One evening he waited to hunt down on the rocks
Two days ago he brought along some friends (5 herons in this photo)
Hank standing tall, although wet, on his favorite branch
You can’t help but be grouchy during a downpour
Hunting should improve after the Northeast storm lets up
Maybe the crows will then leave him alone
