This young eagle has been spotted along Little River in West Gloucester several times recently. It’s often in the company of a banded adult. You may remember I have been calling these two Fred and Ethel. The one you see here is perhaps around 3.5 years old as determined by its plumage coloration and other indicators. Eagles of this age are sometimes called sub adults.
I have followed a number of eagles over the years and have noticed that they seem to have their own personalities, which shouldn’t be surprising. The adult of this pair (Fred, though I don’t know if it’s a male) seems particularly skittish. It doesn’t seem to sit for very long in one place. This younger one (Ethel though I don’t know if it’s a female) is more likely to “sit and stay awhile” so I appreciated the opportunity to watch and observe for a while recently. We are very blessed here to have eagles in our midst. I understand they are predators and can cause some issues for neighbors, but overall it’s a true blessing.

Gloucester—On May 5th, 2024, the Gloucester Writers Center hosts Irish-born author and expressive writing teacher, Áine Greaney to lead a workshop on writing for wellness.
The workshop is part of the Center’s spring programming series. You do not have to be a writer to join this May 5 session from 1pm – 4 pm, and the Center is located at 126, Main Street, East Gloucester.
Suggested fee is $50, and pre-registration is required at the website, Gloucesterwriters.org. Or register at the event page.
The workshop will cover areas such as setting up a regular and sustainable writing practice—even for those who are busy with work and family caregiver commitments. It will also look at the clinical evidence (300+ studies) that support the health benefits of emotional (expressive) writing. In addition to instructor-led group writing exercises and invitations for optional sharing, all registrants will receive a take-home list of resources.

Please help us celebrate GMGI’s Inaugural Byrnes Lecture, in memory of longtime GMGI and community supporter John Byrnes.
The oceans are home to an amazing diversity of life that sustains this planet, shapes climate and weather, and provides food and life-saving discoveries. But our oceans are under increasing threat from the impacts of pollution, habitat loss, overharvesting, and climate change.
Join us on Thursday, May 9th at 6pm at Gloucester Stage for an evening featuring Donald G. Comb Science Director Dr. Andrea Bodnar on how GMGI’s work is vital to preserving biodiversity, promoting healthy oceans, and enabling endless discoveries that impact humankind.

Jim was craving some Italian Fish Stew and so off we went to get the one he likes the best: Blue Marlin Grille on Eastern Ave in Essex. It was lunchtime but our meal choices were more than enough for an additional meal. We saw friends (hi Marcy) and were served by friendly staff (thanks Morgan). I got the meatballs, which could have served to fill in for the moon during the eclipse (they are large enough) and Jim got fried clams along with the Italian Fish Stew. PS They are open on Monday, so win-win!
🚮 We’re cleaning up the head of the harbor, state fish pier and cripple cove area!
