Last Day! See You Soon!

My last full day here in Nova Scotia was another fun filled day of learning and research. We spent the morning learning about outdoor survival and building small mammal traps. Unfortunately my awesome strength was a bit too much for the spruce tree we were using to set the trap.

We then spent a couple of cold and windy hours walking along the Cherry Hill beach habitat testing our field sign skills. We saw a number of great things such as piping plover, an endangered bird. We also saw a number of awesome tracks on the beach sand such as the mink and raccoon.

After dinner we went bat detecting. Although it was too cold to see any bats we learned a lot about how to detect bats using audio frequency waves.

What an exciting past 2 weeks! I am so happy to have been able to share my experience with you all and am excited to get back to STMA to share all I’ve learned. Thank you for being such great classes to communicate with. See you at school!!
