What's happenin' at Rock Creek?

On Tuesday this week, I had the opportunity to go on a field study with an outstanding group of students from Mount Vernon High School in Virginia. We searched high and low for various types of water canaries, although it seemed like most of the focus was on finding the illusive crayfish.


The best part? I got a Mount Vernon High School water bottle! I'm so official now!


The all-around favorite macroinvertebrate found that day? The Dobsonfly.

Special thanks to Matt Thompson for a great field study! Oh and for those of you that were at the field study, Mama Squirrel came by and rescued her baby after we left.
