On Osprey and Fog

I know we New Englanders have been bitching about the onerous lack of sunshine this spring. On Saturday morning, we were blessed with blue sky from 10:00 until noon. That is when I captured the sea worm. On the way back, as I was walking over the Cut Bridge over the Blynman canal, something caught the corner of my eye.

We have bazillions of seagulls in Gloucester, so soaring birds are nothing to take note of. However sometimes anomalous behavior may warrant inspection. In this case, two osprey were soaring over the Blynman canal.





This is the view over East Gloucester at 1:30 PM showing the fog bank over the shoreline which is behind the peninsula.


Looking over Fort Square, south of Eastern Point was a thunderhead building up. Clouds were coming in from the west and fog was rolling in from the east and a storm building in the south, I couldn’t bear to look north.



Long before the 5:00 Seine boat races, we were once again fogbound. Is it any wonder we are just a tad bit eccentric in Gloucester?
