Conserve Wildlife
It was a pleasure to have Conserve Wildlife out on Sedge Island. The osprey banding was an unforgettable experience, and I have linked up all the pictures from the day under the "Pictures" heading on the right, as well as under "Happenings on Sedge". Rick was our terrapin spotter and we got to scan and mark a nesting female terrapin.
During your meeting the girls and I conducted some water quality tests and tried to snag some dinner with our fishing rods. Good thing Jim brought out a striped bass and Tony dropped off a fluke. Jim's new smoker still needs some work, but grilled fish is just as good.
Rick and Bob stayed the night and caught a bunch of feisty blueclaw crabs on the outgoing tide that night. We paddled through the mosquito ditches and past the peregrine hacking tower where mamma pappa and the 3 chicks were all out of the nest box!!! We tried our luck fishing in the mud channel but all we got were bitten off lures!
We hope you enjoyed your day at Sedge and look foward to seeing the group again.
