Once again, the Shreve Migration Sensation was a success. Despite the cold, icy conditions, lots of families stopped by the dip-netting station to look for marsh critters. A huge thanks you to Pat Tirabasso, Pat Dutton, and Ken Schlegel for helping run the station - and a huge thank-you to Logan and Barb for the wonderfully warm chicken noodle soup! Here are some of our favorite pictures from the day.
Boots of all sizes...
It was so cold this year, the marsh was covered by 1/4 inch of ice. The snail on the right was actually frozen in the ice along with various marsh plants. Ice was forming in our collection pans as fast as we could break it up. 
Just a few of the many darters caught by the kids. We don't know what species, so if there are any darter experts out there - please let us know.
Despite the cold, everyone had a fantastic time and found lots of critters.
Thanks to all the families you stopped by the dip-netting station. We love seeing the marsh full of exploring kids and parents who don't mind soggy mittens and muddy boots!
