Coyotes of East Taunton

The eastern coyote is well established throughout
Massachusetts except on Nantucket and Martha’s
Vineyard. A medium-sized predator, it is an opportunistic
feeder and extraordinarily adaptable to a wide range of
habitats. Coyotes thrive in suburban, urban, and rural
areas. They will utilize whatever food is naturally available,
including small animals, birds, insects and fruits, as well as
artificial sources such as garbage, pet food, birdseed, and
compost. The video below are clips from trail cam, East Taunton, MA.

The Haunting

The Common Grackle’s gregariousness has not made it popular with agricultural interests, since large flocks of blackbirds can cause extensive damage to crops. In addition, roosts in urban areas are messy, noisy, and potentially a source of disease. As a result, grackles are viewed as pests in some areas and subject to a variety of control measures, including hazing, spraying crops to make them distasteful, or – in some cases – killing the birds themselves.

Gooseberry Island

Gooseberry Island is the town of Westport’s southernmost point, and is part of the Horseneck Beach State

 

“We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it’s to sail or to watch — we are going back from where we came.”

Killer on the Loose

Still clinging to the small twig after attack. No matter how tiny and adorable hummingbirds look, they are not exactly friendly birds.
