Pin-tailed Whydah is always ready for an awards ceremony or formal wedding because his tail is longer than his body. #nature #photo #LARiver #photography #birds #whydah #birders #birdwatchers #birding #California #LosAngeles #birdphoto #birdwatching #GriffithPark #DailyBird #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdsOfMastodon #naturephotos #LAWildlife

Today was a day trip to #Salem. Everyone knows about Salem's history with witches but it also has a maritime history, including pirates. So, as well as visiting lots of witch-themed attractions, the highlight of which (no pun intended) was the Salem Witch Museum, we also visited the Real Pirates. This is a new attraction (opened last year) that highlights a single ship, the #Whydah, that wrecked off Cape Cod in 1717. This is a great attraction with lots of items found in the wreckage (apparently they've managed to bring up about 14% of what's down there since the wreck was found 40 years ago). Highly recommended. #SalemWitchMuseum #RealPiratesSalem #USEastCoast2023
