One Less Critter in Joe’s Yard

Posted on by Pat D

While recording the podcast Wednesday morning from Joey’s kitchen, we noticed these tracks in the back yard.  Anyone know what critter makes these tracks? They aren’t very big–I should have placed something there so you could judge the size.

Before you go to too much trouble, perhaps it doesn’t really matter what critter this is because I noticed the tracks come to a dead stop. Upon closer examination, it appears this guy fell prey to a hawk or other flying predator.  Despite the poor quality of the photo taken in the shadows, I think you can see what looks like claw marks at the end of the line of tracks.

DNA SEXING TEST FOR THE RESCUE SWAN RESULTS ARE IN

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

We’ve all been hoping so much that the Young Swan would be a female and that romance, or at the least friendship, would blossom between it and Mr. Swan. The results are in and our little she is actually a he. The news is somewhat dismaying because we do not know how Mr. Swan will react once he makes a determination. Will he allow the Young Swan to continue to live at Niles in the spring or will he drive him off? Perhaps Mr. Swan, who is at least 28 years old this year, will not be as territorial as would a much younger male Mute Swan and the two will live peaceably. For now, he is in the good care of Lyn and decisions won’t need to be made for a few months.

Notice how greatly the Young Swan’s plumage has changed over the past few months. In the photo on the left, he is four months old. In the next two photos, he is approximately eight months old.

POOP IN A TREE – WHY?

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Does anyone have a clue as to why a tree over in West Gloucester at Greenbelt’s Wingaersheek Headlands has multiple bags of (what looks like) dog pooh and sand dangling from its branches? Just curious.

After the Bridge, Comes the Quarry

Posted on by Nichole S.

Yesterday I posted a photo of a beautiful bridge in Rockport that I had never seen before…even though I have lived in Rockport for 17 years and Gloucester for a few before that.  Several people asked where the bridge is located.  In explaining that you drive over the bridge just before reaching Granite Pier and that if you drive down to the small boat yard you will see the mini Motif before driving through the lot…and soon enough under that bridge….I also mentioned that you’d reach a quarry immediately afterwards.  So, today I am sharing photos of the quarry as well.  And then realized I should also post the mini Motif again as well…
