I stopped by the Topside Grill because I couldn’t stop thinking about how good Joey reported the Buffalo Chicken sandwich was. But I wasn’t overly hungry so I ordered the appetizer Buffalo style wings (there are other choices like Thai and Jamaican Jerk as well). YUMMY. And, bonus since I was unaware, many appetizers are only $5 during happy hours 3-6 pm Monday through Friday. I had a side of coleslaw and a house margarita for under $20. Going back soon to try the other wing flavors.

Our young Black-crowned Night Heron has made it through the winter!
And a pair of American Pipits has been here all winter, too.
Many Short-eared Owls and Snowy Owls have not yet departed for their summer breeding grounds.

Red-tailed and Marsh Hawks are here year round and this is a wonderful time of year to observe their behaviors, before sparse vegetation turns lush with summer growth.

Bald Eagles in our area may begin laying eggs as early as February.
The Harbor Seal posse is seen nearly everyday. The highest count so far was 27!

Gloucester Brazilian Steakhouse Buffet – Gloucester Steakhouse – new restaurant coming to 151 Main Street Gloucester, Massachusetts. Sign shows churrascaria images. There was a murmur back in January- a smaller sign beneath the Ohana facade forecast “Tastes better than it sounds. All You Can Eat Buffet.”

(Across from the Lone Gull. OHana was there and Espressos before that.)
The crane has gone and as of now Shore Road has reopened. The progress on the rebuild is very obvious within the last week. Thank you to all the workers.

Our morning schedule has been a bit different this week and Finn and I have been finding ourselves driving through Rocky Neck each morning before I drop him off. While many of the homes are empty this time of year it is pretty bustling down in the railways and waterfront. Getting ready for summer.
