About 100 babies are born every year on Nantucket Island- most of them at Nantucket Cottage Hospital. Parents who choose home birth can turn to the one midwife of the island.

When you walk into an art gallery on Martha’s Vineyard you might see a painting of a lighthouse. Maybe two… Or ten. Along with many other classic paintings of island landscapes.

Mike has gotten to know the birds pretty well over time. But his favorite fans still haven't learned how to clap.
