Day Trippers Get Giddy

"I am absolutely giddy at the prospect of the new Compleat Day Tripper!" says loyal DayTripper Judi McLaughlin. Yes, it's true - we've thrashed though and thoroughly revised the Greater Boston edition and with the addition of the brand-new and equally opinionated Cape Cod Day Tripper by Marlissa Briggett, WE NOWHAVE A SERIES! Both books are due for launch before spring. Sign up for our mailing list and be there to meet the authors, and for great deals on signed books, drawings for free books, and fabulous Day Tripper destination giveaways and discounts!

Sea Turtle Rescue on Cape Cod

One of the great things about living on Cape Cod is the tremendous number of opportunities to get involved with ongoing work to preserve the environment and to protect wildlife, reported reader Rick Silva on the Dispatches Gather group. Rick and friends volunteer at the Humane Society's Cape Wildlife Center, and are involved in saltmarsh monitoring through the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (also see the author's recent article on fish monitoring with the APCC). On Monday, Rick was among a large crowd of spectators who came to Dowses Beach in Osterville MA to watch a group of sea turtles get released into the wild.

A few of the turtles seemed a bit confused at first, but then slowly headed down the beach...

Stone Zoo's Amazing Birds of Prey

A Day Tripper reader highly recommends the Birds of Prey show currently at The Stone Zoo. The group putting on the show is from the World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis. They present all rescued birds and the performance is educational as well as awe-inspiring, according to Eileen E. of Arlington, who adds that the show features about a dozen different birds and audience participation. The birds are majestic and the theatre is so small you get to see them up close. They swoop down from outside the fence and land on the trainers arm, lots of "ooohs" and "aaahs" - even really little ones were engaged. There are three shows a day, and it's well worth a day trip.
