Trout Count, Post 10

Hi Margaret,
I’m counting 10 fry today.  Could there be more???

That was the email from the classroom yesterday.


Excitement greets me at the door, 'Come see! They're swimming!'


Eggs bounce on the gravel.
Alevins with their attached egg sac also bounce and hide.
Fry absorb the egg sac, button up, and swim up.


'How many inches is this on my finger?' 
I'm pleased the students are attending to details like size in their journaling.


'I see some fish going up and down. Some are in the gravel, others in the clear water.'

Seeking More Fry,
With Heart
