Using high resolution off-band \ha\ data from the New Solar Telescope andMorlet wavelet analysis technique, we analyzed transverse motions of type IIspicules observed near the North Pole of the Sun. Our new findings are that i)some of the observed type II spicules display kink or an inverse "Y" features,suggesting that their origin may be due to magnetic reconnection, and ii) typeII spicules tend to display coherent transverse motions/oscillations. Also, thewavelet analysis detected significant presence of high frequency oscillationsin type II spicules, ranging from 30 to 180 s with the the average period of 90s. We conclude that at least some of type II spicules and their coherenttransverse motions may be caused by reconnection between large scale fieldsrooted in the intergranular lanes and and small-scale emerging dipoles, aprocess that is know to generate high frequency kink mode MHD waves propagatingalong the magnetic field lines.
