WELL HELLO THERE BIG FOOT! RED-NECKED GREBE SPOTTED AT NILES POND
Foraging around the perimeter of Niles Pond this morning was a charming Red-necked Grebe. I write charming because his feet are exquisitely enormous! As it dove for food, they were put to good use as a sort of paddling propellor. The bird spent much of the morning with its head half submerged and feet furiously working, vigorously hunting small fish and vegetation.
Check out the size of the Red-necked Grebe’s foot 🙂
Elusive
Niles Pond is a special place that provides habitat for myriad species of wildlife, birds especially. Its close proximity to the ocean, abundance of food, and clear fresh, gentle water draws beautiful creatures to our shores all year round.
Although considered a large member of the grebe family, the Red-necked Grebe is comparatively quite a bit smaller than the Mallards. The Red-necked Grebe is on the far right.

Harbor Goods/ Main Street
We will certainly miss this great store on Main Street in Gloucester. They have some great sales from 20% to 30% off. My favorites were their pajamas.
The store will be closing at the end of December.. feeling sad

THE LARCOM PERFORMING ARTS THEATRE
We’ll be going Sunday evening to hear the Eric Mintel Quartet and their Charlie Brown Jazz Tour….
The Eric Mintel Quartet have been thrilling audiences of all ages with their electrifying jazz, on Sunday the Eric Mintel Quartet performs their highly successful “Charlie Brown Jazz” concert tour featuring the beloved holiday cartoon and music by Vince Guaraldi. Songs include, Christmas Time is Here, Skating, Christmas is Coming and the legendary Linus and Lucy plus many other reworked holiday favorites. This concert is fun for the entire family
…and we’ll definitely be ordering tickets to one of the performances of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
The wide variety of events planned this month and next also include Suzanne Vega (loved her), several performances of the Nutcracker, A Rolling Stones show called “Satisfaction”, and two great comedians…Paul D’Angelo (on New Year’s Eve…such a fun idea) and Lenny Clarke.
The Larcom is quite the little gem in the community of Beverly and surrounding towns and I know I, for one, need to remember to check out the schedule every once in awhile to see what is happening.

Fish Tales at Gloucester Stage Friday
This is the live storytelling event that has been keeping Gloucester entertained for the last four years. This time the theme is therapy and therapists, so there are sure to be special stories that are funny or poignant by turns. And how do you really feel about that?
It’s a joint fundraiser for the Writers Center and the Stage Company, just the sort of collaboration that makes our town the vibrant art and culture scene that it is.
So come hear folks you know speak from the heart, you’ll be glad you did.
