So we've done a little work on the run in anticipation of the arrival of the fish. We've cleaned up a little trash and the counting box is in place. The thermometer, the counter and a laminated sheet of instructions are all in the box. The white board is in place and now we wait!
We're not really all that late. While two years ago we started the count on March 21st (we actually had a spring that year!) the latest we've started was on April 20th in 2007. The water temperature was 45 degrees this morning so we are inching up towards the magical 51 degrees. One bright spot is that the osprey are back!!
It's just a matter of time...
Hello Friends,
ReplyDeleteI was at the Mill pond yesterday (4/6/14) at about 4pm and saw two herring make it up the chute and into the pond. So, I think the game is on now!
