First sighting of REDBIRD
Hi Joey ___
REDBIRD’s long migration from San Francisco via Portsmouth, VA is now complete. She is now a year-round resident of Cape Ann. This beautiful schooner had been kept in the builder’s family until Daisy Nell and Captain Stan brought her to town for the first time last Saturday.
Welcome!

Catch a ride to the Gloucester Schooner Festival on the famous schooner BRILLIANT
Al Bezanson submits-
Hi Joey ____
The upcoming Schooner Festival got some notice at Mystic Seaport last month at the WoodenBoat Show. Here’s Capt. Nicholas Alley, schooner BRILLIANT, signing up for a return visit this year.
BRILLIANT, owned and operated by Mystic Seaport, is one of the world’s most beautiful classic boats. Keeping her in tip top condition is no small challenge, and the Seaport depends on income from charters to defray expense. When she visits Gloucester BRILLIANT is forgoing income more easily earned in her home port. Right now she has six berths available for the trip to Gloucester and eight for the return. A trip on BRILLIANT with her congenial and capable crew is a truly great experience. Here’s a link to her website.

I got this photo of BRILLIANT heading back to Mystic after last year’s Schooner Festival. And by the way, Capt. Alley is a previous winner of the Mayor’s Race here when he was in command of VIRGINIA.

1988: US warship shoots down Iranian airliner
An American naval warship patrolling in the Persian Gulf has shot down an Iranian passenger jet after apparently mistaking it for an F-14 fighter.All those on board the airliner – almost 300 people – are believed dead. The plane, an Airbus A300, was making a routine flight from Bandar Abbas, in Iran, to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The USS Vincennes had tracked the plane electronically and warned it to keep away. When it did not the ship fired two surface-to-air missiles, at least one of which hit the airliner. Navy officials said the Vincennes’ crew believed they were firing at an Iranian F14 jet fighter, although they had not confirmed this visually . |

Birds of Cape Ann: How to Tell the Difference Between a Snowy Egret and a Great Egret
For the Chief, and anyone who wants a quick and easy reference on how to tell the difference between the Snowy and Great Egrets, both white and both often times found feeding in the marsh and tide pools together. The Great Egret is greater in size and has a bright yellow bill, with black legs and black feet. The smaller Snowy Egret has the opposite markings, with unmistakeable cadmium yellow feet and a black bill.

Snowy Egret and Great Egret
In the above photo taken this morning, the egrets were too far away for my camera’s lens to get a really clear picture however, when cropped, you can see a side-by-side comparison. The Snowy Egret, with black bill and bright yellow feet, is flying in the background and the Great Egret, with black feet and yellow bill, is perched.

Save the Date ~ Screening of My Film “Life Story of the Black Swallowtail Butterfly”
On August 16th at the Berkshire Museum they’ll be showing a double header of sorts. Earlier in the afternoon at 2:00pm is a presentation of my program on how to attract butterflies and pollinators to your garden, titled “The Pollinator Garden,” followed by a showing of my film Life Story of the Black Swallowtail Butterfly, followed by a Q & A. The event is part of the “Butterflies” exhibit currently on display at the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield. I hope you can come join me!
In the above photo, the orange horn-like structure at the top of the caterpillar’s head is called an osmeterium. When the caterpillar is distressed, it everts the osmeterium. The osmeterium is thought to be a mimic of a snake’s tongue and is a defense against would-be predators such as birds. Additionally, a horrible smelly odor is released from the osmeterium, which can be smelled from a distance of up to ten feet away, and is yet another defense mechanism!
See previous GMG posts about the “Butterflies” exhibit here.
