It was nice to have several volunteers to help. One of the rules was to look and observe closely so you wouldn't miss anything. Pulling in minnow traps was fun and sure produced a lot of fish and other things for you to see. You caught lots of different fish as well as invertebrates like crayfish. How exciting to catch an american eel in the minnow trap.
Eels are actually fish that come up rivers and streams from the ocean to spawn.
It was great to have volunteers from the SC wildlife department to help us with our field trip. Thank you ,Wilkinson Garden Elementary, for a spending a wonderful day with us. Thanks for being so well-behaved. It makes our job even more enjoyable.
