FMThis little guy is Gloucester pooch who can be seen around town walking or hitching a ride like here at the Farmer’s Market last year.  He has a human name and belongs to a singa, rowa woman. Any guesses?

Okay, this is a little more difficult than last week’s Where’s Zat. It’s definitely off the beaten path, but some of you will get its location! Good luck! I bet Paul will get it.

As always, thanks for playing Where Zat!

egretIn the 19th and early part of the 20th century, some of the world’s egret species were endangered by relentless hunting, since hat makers in Europe and the United States demanded massive numbers of egret plumes and breeding birds were killed in locations all around the world.
