Sturgeon Guarding - Part One


We've spent the day on sturgeon patrol.  Instead of our quiet little corner in the boonies where we never talked to anyone but spent the day reading and birding, we were assigned the Wolf River Sturgeon Trail off Highway 10 east of New London.   After Bamboo Bend in Shiocton, this is the busiest site in the program.  We were  busy talking to visitors for twelve hours, telling them about the sturgeon, giving them advice about other sites, watching the Department of Natural Resources tag the big fish, and walking back and forth on the trail.

We've come back exhausted, tanned, exhilarated ... and very, very tired.

I'll write the entire day up tomorrow.
