Marion Natural History Museum679 viewsDuring our after-school netting program at the Harbormaster's beach, the students had a chance to study a variety of our seashore animals. The totals were: 278 silversides, 14 mummichogs, 1 pipefish, 15 glass shrimp, 10 moon jellies, 1 sea nettle and 3 sea robins. There were many other larger fish but we couldn't get close enough to identify them. We were lucky enough to have a warm sunny day to enjoy the activity, and the museum would like to thank the student helpers from both Tabor Academy and ORRHS. Oct 02, 2019

Rochester Farm Stand729 viewsIn Rochester you either run a farm stand or you patronize a farm stand. Either way, you can’t make it to the end of a windy Rochester road without encountering a farm stand at this time of year, stocked with the autumn essentials grown in the Rochester ground and picked by Rochester hands.

Bye, Bye, Birdie...783 views The summer has ended and soon it will be time for this handsome guy to head on south, or maybe not? Like some bird species, it’s becoming less uncommon for goldfinches to remain with us all winter, so long as the food supply is steady. Goldfinches love sunflowers, and as you can see, this one doesn’t care who’s watching him devour this glorious sunflower seed by beak-watering seed.

Bird Island Lighthouse749 viewsOn September 14, Marion and its residents celebrated the bicentennial anniversary of the Bird Island Lighthouse. Built in 1819, the lighthouse was the very first on the southern coast of Massachusetts and an essential beacon for the busy commercial waters near Cape Cod before the canal was built.
