The bees were loving the jewelweed at Allens Pond and apparently needed to stop for a synchronized stretching session on the boardwalk. We’re not exactly sure what this move is called, but WE ARE HERE FOR IT. 🧘‍♀️🐝

The nor'easter decided to make a splash, so our ducks are taking shelter from the storm! The Duck Derby has been postponed to Monday, October 5, 2026 (weather date: October 6), which means there's still time to get your ducks in a row and into the race. Sponsor your racing duck online through Sunday, October 4, at 11:55 pm ET and join the flock before the starting splash!

Sponsor a duck for just $10 to support conservation, environmental education, and meaningful connections with nature across Southeast Massachusetts. You'll also be entered for a chance to win the $5,000 grand prize. Visit massaudubon.org/duckderby
