Upstream!

Well, today we went to the upper stream to perform some more macroinvertebrate test similar to yesterdays test. We once again got the yellow bug nets and danced in water to kick up dirt. As a result, that enabled many creek animals to drifted into the net for us to see and touch. It was absolutely pouring down rain most of the time which at first was a slight bummer, but turned out to be way more fun than a sunny day. Our discoveries weren't as extensive as our first day, but we did find a red newt which I thought was so darn cool. I really enjoyed doing that and the suspense of not knowing what you are going to catch.
