Marion Natural History Museum262 viewsOn October 20, the Marion Natural History Museum’s after-school group spent time learning a little about our migrating bird populations. We found out that the Arctic tern migrates 50,000 miles, which is the longest distance of any bird. The ruby-throated hummingbird can migrate as far as Mexico and Central America in search of flowers and insects. We then went on a bird walk and managed to find a mourning dove, blue jay, European starling, black-capped chickadee, and belted kingfisher, among other birds.

Clydesdale horses escorted Santa Claus and passengers, while the Sippican Elementary School Band played, Tabor Academy student singer Wesley Lai of Hong Kong sang, and a bike rider juggled bowling pins.

Mattapoisett Public Library262 viewsMattapoisett Public Library is now exhibiting works created by the dynamic artistic duo of Dianne and Dick Morgado. Their works, hers in photography and his painting, take both media to the height of excellence in execution and subject matter.
