WHEN SWANS DRINK SALTWATER, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SALT?

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Several weeks ago, in response to a question sent in by a reader that asked can swans drink seawater, we responded yes, because just above the eyes and under the skin, they have a gland that removes salt from their blood stream and concentrates it inĀ a solution that is excreted from their nostrils. In the photo below, you can see sunlight coming through the nare holes, which areĀ nearĀ the base of the bill. When the swan shakes its head, the salt is removed through the nares. Most species ofĀ birds have nare holes, which lead to the nasal cavity within the skull,Ā which is part of the respiratory system.

Ocean Effect Snow

Posted on by Nichole S.

The same morning earlier this week that everyone was out photographing gorgeous images of sea smoke, I took this photo. Ā While we didn’t receive new snow fall during the night, the homes and landscape at the end of our street were covered with ocean effect snow early the next morning. Ā It was kind of cool to see.

HOODED MERGANSER

This charming little diving duck was spotted several days ago in Rockport Harbor with a group of Mallards. About two thirdsĀ the size of the male Mallards, theĀ striking pattern of the male Hooded MerganserĀ made it easily spotted in the flock. A fun fact aboutĀ Hooded Mergansers is that they can find their prey underwater by changing the refractive properties of their eyes. Additionally, they have an extra pair of eyelids that areĀ both transparent and protective, functioning like a pair of goggles.

I hope to see you at the “Beautiful Birds of Cape Ann” program on Thursday night at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center!
