Powder blue walks on Long Beach. What are the markers on both sides of Saratoga Creek?

Early spring. March 2025

Sky and cottages

Flag markers

not sure what they indicate.

Heron on the utility pole was half the story.

photos: Dec. 25, 2023. Flying just above the surf, two herons battle raced the length of Long Beach taking a turn at the Cape Ann Motor Inn bend then looping straight back behind the cottages above Saratoga Creek. They came to a stop with one on the utility pole and the other at the water’s edge. Ben Hur-ons 🙂

COYOTES IN THE BLUE HOUR

Prior to dawn Monday morning, two Eastern Coyotes were spotted perusing Saratoga Creek and Good Harbor Beach. They appeared to be a pair; the huskier of the two was definitely the ‘alpha’ Coyote, with the smaller trotting after the larger. Before crossing the Creek, they both stopped to go pooh and pee in a pile of seaweed.

The larger (am assuming a male, but not entirely sure) has a more mottled snout with a black tail tip, while the smaller of the two has a very black snout and no black on its tail tip.
