Len Burgess submits-

Congratulations to the students from Topsfield Vocational Academy, part of the Northshore Education Consortium, who launched their Essex Clam Skiff today! The students built the boat over the last nine months, using the only known original skiff as a model to follow. Special thanks to their teacher Mark, ESM boatbuilder Jeff, and @essexcountycommunityfoundation for supporting the project!

CHICKS MADE THEIR FIRST FORAY DOWN TO THE CREEK TODAY!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Our Good Harbor Beach PiPls made their first journey down to the creek this morning. They left the protected area about 11:00am, just as the soccer tournament was heating up. The family traveled along the dune fencing, crossed the back road, and spent the better part of the day foraging in the creek tidal flats and in the vegetation at the marsh edge.

For volunteers who have never seen this behavior before, in 2016 the chicks hatched over Fiesta weekend, when the beach was very busy. At only two days old, the PiPl family began making the epic journey to the creek from the protected area. This is harrowing for them and we lost a chick during the 2016 trek. Volunteers can best help the chicks by following along, from a safe distance that does not impede their movement. Keep an eye on stray balls and let folks in the vicinity know what is happening, if possible. They typically return as the tide is coming in or at dusk.

I believe easy access to the creek is one reason why our GHB PiPls choose to nest at the No. 3 boardwalk over the No. 1 boardwalk area. The creek is closer to No. 3 and gives the birds a secondary option for feeding when the main beach is super crowded.

The hatchlings are eight days old and are nearing the ten-day-old milestone. They are growing visibly stronger and increasingly more independent everyday. I have lots of photos to share and will provide a longer update after the weekend.

City of Gloucester to Raise Pride Flag

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Sponsored by Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken, the Pride Flag Raising at Gloucester City Hall will take place on Monday, June 10 at 3:00 p.m.  Mayor Romeo Theken will be joined by members of City Council and City Staff.  The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.

June is Pride Month, which celebrates everyone in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community. The rainbow flag, commonly known as the gay pride flag, is a symbol of LGBTQ pride. The original flag had eight stripes. Today, the most commonly used flag, created in 1979 by Gilbert Baker, has six stripes.  Each stripe has a different meaning: Red represents life; orange is for healing; yellow is for sunlight; green is for nature; blue is for harmony; and purple is for spirit.

WHEN:  Monday, June 10, 2019 at 3:00 p.m

WHAT:  Pride Flag Raising

WHERE:  Outside Gloucester City Hall, Warren Street Entrance

NOTE:  This event is free and open to the public
