Daily Journal - 11 Jun 2024 (Tuesday)

This is the daily journal entry for the 10th day of June in 2024. The Daily Picture Theme is #Wind. Featured photo was taken on top of Mount Watatic of Ruby the terrier being blasted by the wind. “Our pasts define us, yet memory is untrustworthy. By keeping a journal, I can capture those memories when they’re still reasonably fresh. Journaling helps me keep a narrative of my life. It keeps me…

Went on a beautiful hike this weekend. Soaked up the sun, got lost in the views and took in the mountain air. I now understand how people are in love with the mountains 🏔

London outfit Divisionists announce debut album, tease first single 'Say Can You'

London-based psych power pop outfit Divisionists have announced they will be releasing their debut LP ‘Daybreak’ on March 17 and present the first single ‘Say Can You’ as a teaser. This album will be released digitally and on vinyl via Mount Watatic Records. ‘Say Can You’ is a refreshing and upbeat track with hints of early Teenage Fanclub, The Lemonheads, Matthew Sweet and Bob Mould (including his project Sugar), albeit with softer vocals and much less feedback. "We are very excited by how well 'Daybreak' came together as an album. For me, I'm lucky to be in such an great band: Mark, Rob, Mike and I have fantastic synergy to explore new territory, yet also the intense (obsessive!) perseverance to "get it right". Musicians always say a record is a labor of love -- in this case, it's really been true. We've put the very best of us into this recording, to create an interpersonal and cultural snapshot of blood, sweat, tears, late nights at the pub, the whole works -- and we believe we've made something cool," says Divisionists’ frontman Brendan Quinn. The forthcoming album follows their debut EP “we play rock music…” (2011). Comprised of 12 tracks, this new offering features guest appearances by saxophonist Brian Idd and vocals from both Gwen Knighton and Lisa Makros. ‘Daybreak’ was recorded at Perry Vale Studios, The Mill House, and Haiku Sound, where it was also mixed. Brendan Quinn produced the album with assistance from legendary psych producer Sterling Roswell a.k.a. ROSCO (Spaceman-3, The Darkside), and Pat Collier (The Vibrators) on board as tracking engineer. The album was mastered by veteran mastering engineer Don Grossinger (The Flaming Lips, Brian Wilson, Franz Ferdinand, The Rolling Stones, Annie Lennox, Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings). Formed in 2010, the band took their name from both the Neo-Impressionist modern art movement, and one of the political factions in Beat Poet William S. Burroughs’ ‘Naked Lunch’: those who occupy 'a midway position' who 'literally divide' yet 'live in fear of a replica revolution'. Frontman Brendan Quinn is best known as the guitarist and vocalist for the cult psychedelic/space-rock pranksters Abunai! (regulars at the Terrastock Festival with three albums and two EPs on the Camera Obscura label). Divisionists’ music embraces psych rock, power pop, and reimagined traditional folk ballads, all with a loud and memorable rock influence. They have shared stages with Pete “Bassman” Bain (Spaceman-3, The Darkside), Alex Monk, and Swiss garage-psych pioneers Roy and the Devil’s Motorcycle, among others. Brendan toured live as a member of the Sterling Roswell Band for their album "The Call of The Cosmos", including their headliner spot at Andrew Weatherall's Convenanza Festival, and has performed with a wide range of artists, including members of Swervedriver, Acid Mothers Temple, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and The Perfect Disaster. "Among the many reasons I said yes when these nutcases begged me to rejoin and record an album is just how much fun I have as part of a rhythm section with Robert. As we've categorised it in the past, we just hold the ship steady while Mark and Brendan get all psychedelic over the top. It's a blast," says Mike Whitaker (bass, piano, backing vocals). While the ‘Daybreak’ LP will only be fully available via internet on March 17, the vinyl record is available now for pre-order via Divisionists’ Bandcamp. Pressed on 180 Gram orange vinyl, the record also includes a full-colour folded insert with artwork and lyrics.

Mount Watatic "Walk & Talk" Hike

Mount Watatic “Walk & Talk” Hike

Mount Watatic is located at the southern end of the Wapack Range of mountains. Our New Ipswich walking group hiked it on a warm October afternoon. We were following a long tradition of climbers dating back at least to the late 1800s.

2016-17 Hawkwatcher’s Notebook

Massachusetts offers year-round intrigue for the hawkwatcher.  The end of 2016 and beginning of 2017 offered several unique stories in my travels around the state in pursuit of raptors.  

September 24th, 2016 - Goshawk on the Mountain!

On one of the final days of the Mount Watatic Hawkwatch this season, a small group of us caught a glimpse of the rarest of breeding Massachusetts hawks, the Northern Goshawk.  Tom Pirro first identified the large accipiter off the north side of Watatic’s summit.  In terms of shape, the bird had a long, broad tail and tapered wings.  A closer look revealed a pale, streaked breast, brown topside and bright-white eyebrow - all excellent field marks for a juvenile goshawk.  In almost 200 hours at Watatic the last 2 seasons, this was my first encounter with one of these secretive raptors. Despite it being a local bird (non-migrant) - the sighting was truly a thrill to remember.  

November 5th, 2016 - State FOY Rough-legged Hawk

I was in one of my ‘happy places’ - the North Pool Overlook at Parker River NWR, when I spotted a distant hawk in a true hover over the marsh.  Not the buoyant, momentary mid-air hesitation of a Harrier, or the effortless kite of a Red-tail, and certainly not the rapid flicker of Kestrel wings.  The wind was carrying the bird away from me, so I jumped in the car to try and get underneath it.  Moments later, I found myself looking up at a pale-headed buteo with dark carpal patches.  True excitement - it was indeed a Rough-legged Hawk (light morph) and my first of the year!  According to records, it was also the first sighting in the entire state in the winter of 2016-17.  What an honor to welcome this spectacular species back to our region for the season.

March 4th, 2017 - Uncovering a Great Gray Owl in Massachusetts

In late February/early March of 2017, it was apparent that an irruption of Great Gray Owls was taking place in New England, with multiple birds sighted in Maine, New Hampshire and even upstate New York.  On the first weekend of March, I joined dozens of birders in Newport, NH to pick up my lifer GGOW.  The following day, I was birding in Western MA and browsing the Hampshire county eBird summary page on my mobile phone, looking for recent raptor sightings. I instinctively tapped on a checklist of a nearby Barred Owl sighting with a photograph from the previous week.  To my shock - the photo depicted not a Barred Owl, but a different Strix altogether.  A massive facial disc and two bright yellow eyes - surely the image showed a Great Gray Owl!  The eBird report, from just outside Williamsburg, MA, was already a week and a half old, but I immediately reached out to the Western Mass Birders online group for backup.  Within hours, we were able to confirm with the original spotter that it was indeed a case of mistaken identity!  Unfortunately, efforts to relocate the bird failed, so I never saw this owl in person.  The happy ending though, if the sighting is accepted by the state records committee, is that this would be the first Great Gray Owl in Massachusetts in over 20 years!  Had I not stumbled across that checklist, perhaps this rare sighting would’ve been lost altogether.

April 23rd, 2017 - Spring migrant surprise: Short-eared Owl

As a weekend-only hawkwatcher in spring, I have to take what opportunities I can get.  Weather conditions don’t always cooperate, and that Sunday was a prime example.  A small group of us saw just 17 migrants that morning - but a most unexpected one was a Short-eared Owl!  The bird first appeared around 11:30am in the marsh west of the platform, initially flying low in the “heat shimmer”.  It became apparent that the flight style - deep, floppy wingbeats - were slightly different than the Harriers we had seen all month.  And sure enough, the owl gave us a long look and plenty of opportunities to identify its bright, buffy primary patches above the wing, and dark carpal marks below.  This sighting ended up being one of the latest in the state for the spring of 2017, and the first at the PI Hawkwatch in at least 10 years.  Outstanding!
