Turkeys on the Run

We were driving along on Rogers Street and noticed a flock of gulls, squawking up a storm and dive bombing toward the home’s roof. This roof has several levels and some ornamentation so it took a minute for my eyes to adjust and realize there was a turkey atop this house dodging and ducking the gulls. It was quite a surprising sight. I hopped out of the car with my camera as the turkey made its way to a lower level behind the house and out of sight. A nice couple in another vehicle stopped to say they saw the same except they thought there was more than one turkey. So we both tracked them down in a back alley making their way down again to ground level in a hurry to avoid the paparazzi (me). Reminded me of the Beatles fleeing their fans so here are Ringo, John, George and Paul on the run in the alleys of Gloucester.

Fishing industry folks- thoughts on stuck ship at Suez Canal, and off our shore where there’s smoke…

Where there’s smoke, is there processing right on board the ship? Can someone help describe this boat, what’s happening and where it’s headed to and from?

photo caption: Vessel off Gloucester 3/23/2021 visible from the shore. Binoculars held up to phone for “zoom”

“The Ever Given, a container ship longer than the Eiffel Tower,…” Suez Canal snarled by Giant Ship

Article mentions a first such incident there. What happened?

Good Morning, Rockport

We took a quick drive down T Wharf this morning. We didn’t have time to stay long or hunt for the perfect photo, but the reflections on the water were pretty.
