In the “Better late than Never” Department, Sea Meadow gift shop in Essex was holding a special event yesterday (Sunday) to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. There were special discounts on many locally made craft items as well as a free chair massage by Jeff Thomas; Reiki (not sure by whom); Pampered Chef items from Dawn Addison Burnham and raffles. The shop was packed with interested shoppers and supporters of owner Georgeanne Richards’ efforts.
Although this event was one day only, other events will be upcoming for the remainder of the month to support breast cancer research and we will try to keep you posted on these as we get details. Thank you Georgeanne, Dawn, Jeff and the others involved for your efforts!

You never know what beautiful creatures you may be fortunate enough to encounter when chasing winged friends.
White-tailed Deer grow a second thicker coat of fur for protection against the cold during fall, and shed that second coat during spring.The reddish color will give way to grayish brown hairs at the onset of colder weather, providing better camouflage as well. Deer can increase the insulative value of their fur by puffing out their hair. These are probably nursing does because they keep their reddish color longer than bucks and does that have weaned their fawns.

Lovely afternoon to learn kayaking. This teacher seemed to be doing a great job and I’m hoping she has time in her schedule to accommodate lessons for me!

On Saturday afternoon October 28 at the Sawyer Free Library, from 2:00 to 4:00 we will have the final astronomy program of 2017 at the Sawyer Free Library, presented by the Gloucester Lyceum and the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club.
Astrophotographer and astronomy club stalwart Phil Orbanes will discuss, in an entertaining and colorful presentation, a dozen famous stars and their lifestyles, from Aldebaran to Sol, from the intemperate “live fast and die young” crowd to the more introspective and generally cool-headed class M red dwarves.
Phil will explain the ways in which astronomy’s HR diagram of stellar life cycles can be explained by the sidewalk outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater, and which star would show up where, from Barnard’s Star to the Dog Star. This will be a fun and informative program you won’t want to miss.
Next, Dr. Mario Motta will present a photographic record of his trip to see the…
What is happening here? A hungry swim of cormorants have pushed a stream of bait fish towards the shallow shore waters. The minnows are met by equally as hungry Snowy Egrets and Great Egrets waiting on the rocks. I’ve watched many egrets eat prey and they often toss it about in the air for half a minute before swallowing whole, I think to line it up so the fish or frog goes straight down its gullet. At that very moment when the egrets are adjusting their catch, the gulls swoop in and try to snatch the minnows from the egrets. This scene was filmed at Niles Beach. My friend Nancy shares that she has observed the egret and cormorant symbiotic feeding partnership many mornings over by where she lives on the Annisquam River.
