Allens Pond Beach Ramble

On the Ramble

Saturday, June 27 was another beautiful day at Allens Pond Massachusetts Audubon Sanctuary.  It was the date of another Beach Ramble, led by Doug and a family of four traveled down from Newton to go on the ramble.  The whole family was very interested, found a number of objects and asked very appropriate questions.  One of the boys had studied about the beach and marine animals in school and knew a lot of answers.  Everybody had an enjoyable day and at the end of the ramble.  The boys got out their Massachusetts Audubon Passports and stamped it with the Allen Pond stamp.

In the water right off the beach, common terns were fishing for small baitfish.

As we were walking in the field back up toward the field station, a newly hatched brood of Baltimore Checkerspots were flying around and landed to give us a good view of them before their wings got beat up.
