Not yet!!

So, even though it's almost April, the fish have not arrived yet.  So, don't go and start your counting unless you hear from us that they've arrived!  We've been keeping a close watch on the water temperature and this morning it was only 36 degrees!  A little too chilly for them, I think.  And now with this blizzard bearing down on us, I think it may be a few more days.  It is supposed to warm up this weekend, so keep your fingers crossed...

This is a really sweet picture from last year's cygnets at Mill Pond.  He seems like he was thriving!!

Hopefully, we'll see more this year and Mom won't want to attack any of us like she did last year!

We had a wonderful turnout for the Herring Count Training meeting last Saturday.  It looks like it's going to be a great counting year!  The weather was so nice that Lindsey took everyone down to the run to have a look around.  And even though Elliott Carr had to cancel at the last minute, his wife Susan stepped in and did a tremendous job with a PowerPoint presentation about the Herring Run in Brewster.  The pictures were great!

The Americorps Crew!
