Good Morning Gloucester

The newly completed Sea Level Rise Mural at Ocean Alliance as seen from the harbor as presented by the Cape Ann Climate Coalition. It’s quite striking.

I visited Medford this week to try to find some eagles at Mystic Lakes Park since my Facebook memories indicated that we’d seen some there a year ago. Although I did see an eagle in flight from a distance, I spent most of my time watching this heron patiently hunting for its lunch. Over the course of the hour I watched it, this heron did not successfully catch his prey for nearly the whole hour, but I was rewarded just as I was starting to think about giving up the ghost. The heron seemed to enjoy a hearty meal on this beautiful fall day.

Woolly Bear Folklore:

“The longer the woolly bear’s black bands, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. … If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold.” You be the judge.  I always wondered if they turned into moths or butterflies.  See first two photos.

I was surprised to see a large bird in the “resting tree” behind our apartment as we haven’t seen too many larger birds recently. But I knew right away from its size, appearance and behavior that it is likely a young eagle. I am very excited to see young eagles hanging around this area! Young eagles in the area often means there are adults around too though I did not see any this time. As is usual, the crows were not happy and felt the need to harass the young eagle, which it seemed to mostly take in stride. I hope it returns soon.
