The Kestrels Fish Release
0 Comments »
A few weeks ago, Charlie's Kestrels trekked out to Scoggins Creek at Hagg Lake to release the trout that they had been raising from eggs in the school aquarium. It was a frenzied race against the clock to scoop up as many trout as possible before loading onto the bus. After finding a safe location for their tiny trout to start their life in the current, students explored the creekside, discovering beaver sticks and other treasures. After lunch, the class got an exclusive tour of the Scoggins dam spillway.
During this trip, the Kestrels were already experienced fish releasers: just in December, they made the trip to John Blodgett Arboretum off Highway 6 to release a batch of salmon. The tree full of woodpecker holes and a salmon jaw, below, were just a few of the discoveries made in these woods. Students also gathered up over 16 pounds of garbage on this trip, sorting and disposing of it back at school.
