At Yellow Breeches Creek |
|
Wayne points the group towards the study spot. |
| At the site, folks just dived right in to their explorations. |  |
 |
Reportedly feeling like "kids in a candy store," this group tried a little bit of everything before focusing their investigation. |
| Fulfilling a lifelong dream to wear waders, Joanne gets in deep, but not in over her head. |  |
 |
Paul and Celia gather habitat details. |
| Audrey and Celia peer at all of the different tiny creatures clinging to the rock from the creek. |  |
 |
Paul, Beth, and Niki engage in a creek survey. |
| One of the many mysteries of the creek to be explored--what creature left these clam shells at the base of the tree? (Human creatures put them in the dish, this we know.) |  |
 |
Kathy sketches in the shade. |
| Ducks stretch near Peggy, Rita, Judy, and Kathy, who are studying their behavior. |  |
 |
Some folks investigate the characteristics of the slow feeder creek, such as pH, water speed, and depth. |
| Toni and Kay discuss Paul's aquatic findings in the bucket. |  |
Don't stop now! There's more creek study
to come!
