Out my kitchen window yesterday, my gaze went to a bird on the lawn that was hammering its beak into the ground, unperturbed that I was watching. I suddenly got excited, because I thought it might be a flicker, a woodpecker I have not seen for several years. At first I thought it might be a mourning dove. It was a similar size.

WELLFLEET Winners of the second annual Wellfleet Youth Film Festival have been chosen, but you’ll have to wait a few more days to find out who they are.
“We wanted to give the feeling that this is a festival you have to attend,” Wellfleet Preservation Hall Managing Director Vanessa Downing said.
From the beginning Downing envisioned the youth film event with all the trappings of a traditional film festival: awards, interviews, a red carpet and more. But so far the COVID-19 virus threat has put a crimp in those plans.
Like last year the festival will screen online only, through the hall s home page. The link will go live on Friday, May 7, and remain available through the end of the day on Sunday, May 9. An in-person screening is planned in the hall s backyard sometime this summer.

For the 11th year in a row, the town will celebrate its notable young people in the Brookline Youth Awards May 8.
What are the Brookline Youth Awards? BrooklineHub explains:
The Brookline Youth Awards is an opportunity for Brookline residents to hear about the character, challenges, and dreams of its young people as well as adults dedicated to their success, through the power and intimacy of video interviews. We recognize that each of us is embarked on our own journey and we must hurdle our own unique set of challenges. There are also no barriers to be eligible for an award other than the recipient must be between the ages of 13 and 19 and either live in or go to school in Brookline.
