Ecomentors head down to the lake for the first sampling of "spring"

Even though we still had a few more days of frozen weather, March 26th turned out to be a great day to explore!  Loads of things to find, including an impressive number of owl pellets!!

This is Lake Wallace in late winter

Listening for instructions before we go

Snack up!  there's hard work to be done!!

The intrepid explorer is ready for discovery

Staging at the picnic table, ready to scoop, sort, identify and document ... How's that for a research station?!

The newest members of Ecomentors learn the fine art of spoon-based science research

Looks like there are a few critters waking up for the Spring!

 They came all the way from the Chicago-area to join us on our excursion ... Thanks!!
