JONES RIVER SUNRISE AND YO MAMA, WHAT’S FOR BREAKFAST?
I have been hoping to take a photo of a female Eastern Towhee, and here she is, with a mouthful of breakfast for the nestlings! She hopped from tree limb to tree limb with her treasure, ta-weeting all the while; no small accomplishment while tightly clamping down on that big bug.
Look at the beautiful white-tipped underside of her tail feathers
Pretty sunrise over Jones River Marsh
Snapshot of a male Eastern Towhee taken several weeks ago in the same location. I wonder if they are a pair? It’s unlikely we’ll get to see the nest. Female towhees build their nests on the ground and they are well-camouflaged, being made of bark, twigs, and dried leaves. There is a dense tangle of undergrowth where I am filming and it’s probably fraught with ticks, so on the path I stay.
A few more from this morning sunrise over the river

Under The Thinning Fog
“Under the thinning fog the surf curled and creamed, almost without sound, like a thought trying to form inself on the edge of consciousness.” ― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep

Time to Just Keep Swimming
Rubber Duck and the A01 Buoy both say it’s time to go for a swim!
The 80.1 F is just the seaweed warming up at low tide but that 53.8 F is a sensor three feet down and it’s real. Just Google “A01 Buoy” which is a couple miles off Gloucester Harbor and you get the exact same temp.
What’s it all mean? It means it’s time to go for a swim! It’s time to toss a few poppers because Mrs Striped Bass has arrived. She waits until it is 50 F. What are you waiting for?

Quick Trip to Kennebunkport
I’m pretty thankful that my boys are getting to the age that they don’t “need” or ask for much for their birthdays….and that they understand that “doing things is better than getting stuff.” So, as one of Thatcher’s birthday gifts we took off for a one night getaway to Kennebunkport. Our intention was to simply swim, beach comb, fish, explore, ride bikes, poke around in some stores, and then head to the Portland Sea Dogs game the next morning. The weather didn’t necessarily cooperate for some of our planned outdoor fun….although the fishing was still a must.
While there we drove by the Bush Estate. It was nice to show the boys where the family has gathered together for so many years and to look across the water and imagine the good times, laughs, rites of passage, celebrations, etc that have unfolded on the lawn and within the walls.
It was even nicer to hear that President Bush was in attendance at the Memorial Day parade the next morning.
Good Morning Gloucester
