The @WeberGrills Q Is The Perfect Grill For A Quick Cook

Literally gets up to temp in minutes.
Perfectly designed enameled grates that are positioned to avoid flare ups and protect burner tubes.
Very few parts, just classic simple Weber design.

I like them so much I got one for my mom and she swears by it.

CLOVER PLOVERS – Just hatched Killdeer Chicks!
The Good Harbor Beach Killdeers first laid eggs in the parking lot, very close to where the Piping Plovers also had a nest scrape. After only several days, the eggs disappeared but the pair soon re-nested along the parking lot edge.
Just as do PiPl chicks, Killdeer chicks are able to feed themselves shortly after hatching; they seem to come out running and only need their feathers to dry before feeding. The chicks learn the parent’s voice commands very early on in their development and at only a few days old, the brood will immediately freeze as soon as the adults give out a warning. The name Killdeer comes from the easily recognized and oft heard call of the adults, a loud, shrill ‘kill-dee, kill-dee.’

Weary Willie
I took a little boat cruise down the Annisquam with some friends onboard the Lady Jillian with Captain Douglass and Cape Ann Harbor Tours. We happened upon this guy fishing on the “Weary Willie” and he was lucky enough to reel one in as we went by. I couldn’t help but notice the little lady going for a dip as well.


In An Eagle There Is All The Wisdom In The World
It does appear this Eagle is in deep thought, as Lame Deer noted in the quote “In an Eagle there is all the wisdom in the world”

It’s always a thrill to see these majestic birds.
