Mr. Techno strikes again!

Below is a video from this afternoon. There were 30-40 mph winds and the waves were awesome, with swells of over 6' high!! We saw a lot of sea urchin shells and even part of a lobster shell. The sun came back today around noon. This morning we checked our traps and brought them all in from the field. We had caught 5 more voles, 3 of which were recaptures. Tonight, we went over the data and found out that there were 6.7 voles per hectare (about 2.5 acres) at Cook's Lake compared with 5 per hectare at the Eastport site. We estimated .03 deer per hectare at Cook's Lake compared to
.0125 deer per hectare at Eastport. The snowshoe hare population appeared to be much higher in Eastport than Cook's Lake, judging by pellet counts. Tomorrow, we'll be visiting the part of Kejimkujik National Park that is by the seashore. There is a chance that we'll be able to see some seals, so I have my fingers crossed. It's hard to believe that our time here is almost gone. This has been an awesome experience and I've learned many new and exciting things. I'm looking forward to sharing these with my classes.

Nova Scotia fact of the day: famous Nova Scotians include Hank Snow, Anne Murray and pro hockey player Al McInnis. Alexander Graham Bell moved here in 1885 and is buried in Nova Scotia.

1.) Did you bring a razor with to shave? In an effort to save weight and room in my backpack, I left my razor behind. I'll let you have a good look on Monday, before I shave again.
2.) How did you celebrate Earth Day? We sang Happy Birthday to the Earth and had some great birthday cake!
3.) Have you played any hockey? No, but we've been playing some of the same games you play in Mr. Waller's class.
4.) What kind of sharks are off the coast? I'd imagine that there are many species, similar to the rest of the Atlantic. Maybe a swimming with the sharks expedition is in the future?
5.) If given the chance would to take the trip again? Definitely. This has been a great opportunity to see someplace new, share ideas with fellow teachers, learn about the environment and collect data that can be used to make informed decisions concerning our planet.
6.) Who do you think killed the electric car? I think there was a combination of factors, but I'd put a lot of blame on big oil and the auto industry.
