Kids can meet “Nile,” a representation of a 35-year-old adult female humpback whale based on a real humpback whale that frequents Gloucester’s coastal waters. They will have the opportunity to step inside the 43-foot long and 30-foot wide inflatable humpback and learn how whales are similar and different from humans in this interactive program. They will learn about Nile’s migratory path, how many calves she’s had, and how researchers came to this information.

4 Years Ago Today Our City Was Rallying Around This Guy!

Posted on by Nichole S.

4 years ago today, our city was rallying around this amazing guy! What fun that was! Having Jamie McDonald, ADVENTUREMAN, finish his epic 5,500 miles run from Washington state with us in Gloucester was such a exciting thing for so many of us! Now he’s home with brand new twins and an adorable toddler (equally as challenging, no doubt). Thanks, Jamie!

Why The Coyote Crosses The Road

Posted on by Pat D

We came upon this beautiful coyote recently at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. To our surprise, as we watched, it came closer and closer to those of us along the roadway. It carefully calculated risk and distance then eventually took the leap in order to cross the roadway. I guess it wanted to go to the beach: which is why this coyote crossed the road! It really is a gorgeous example of coyote. For additional story details and more images, please check out Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook. There’s an extra surprise there!

A person I may or may not be related to by marriage may have the most sensitive ears on the planet. I think I have the solution…
