Kellie and I went out to canoe ride on Memorial Day. It was a supremely nice day.
There wasn't much wind and the algae hasn't really started growing yet, so the water is nice and clear and we spent a lot of time looking into the water.
We saw some little fish.
We had a muskrat come quite close to our boat!
One of the really cool things about the trip was seeing all of the Bluegill nests in the shallows. The Bluegills create a scrape out of the bottom, and each one defends its territory.
There were a million people out there and it was late in the day, so we didn't see any turtles basking. That is quite unusual, as we almost always see turtles basking in the sun. However, we did catch a turtle sticking its head up out of the water!
Then it swam away!
And hid itself again!
And here is a first for GGG: Video!
This is a video of a bunch of bluegill swimming near a bunch of nests.
