GOLDEN TWILIGHT ON THE ANNISQUAM

ANNISQUAM LIGHTHOUSE Sunset ©Kim Smith 2015What a treat, these last lingering days of Indian Summer! I am trying to get out of doors as much as possible to enjoy the fleeting amber-gold moments. The photos below were taken standing at the mouth of the Annisquam, looking towards Wingaersheek Beach.

WTF 911 – where did you go??

All the excitement about today’s purported UFO landing, in reality named WT1190F (but irresistibly dubbed WTF911) and, nothing happened! The six ton mystery object was expected to land in a shower of debris off the the Sri Lankan coast this morning at 6:30.

I Saw Two Ducks Mating this Morning

They were on Smiths Cove.  I saw them bobbing their heads at each other, then the male moved around behind and then mounted and mated with the female.  I’ve seen it occur many times in the spring, but never in November.  Does anyone else think this is strange?  Do ducks sometimes mate before heading south for the winter?  Or maybe it is a sign of a mild winter.  Any input from birders in the know would be appreciated.  I couldn’t tell what kind of ducks they were, but I don’t think mallards, as they both appeared to be brown and it wasn’t aggressive like mallards tend to be.

Old Gateway Marina

We spent a good deal of time at Gateway Marina when we were kids, exploring the marsh area behind Nichols Candy (as well as eating Nichols Candy), catching horseshoe crabs and digging sea worms.  It looks the same as I remember it.
