Welcome Back Resorters!

I hope you've had an enjoyable and relaxing summer and are coming back ready to learn.  Check my website frequently for updates and weekly lesson plans. 

Congratulations Graduates!

To all of this year's graduates, I congratulate you on finishing high school and wish you luck in your future endeavors.  To all students coming back next year, enjoy your summer, relax, and come back in the fall ready to work hard in your science classes.  See you in a couple months!

Early Morning Bird Watching

Join me for an early morning bird walk on Wednesday May 25 at 6:00am.  Meet at the marsh tower and bring a pair of binoculars if you can.  The bird diversity on the walks has been very good this year with lots of opportunities to improve your bird identifying abilities.  Our trip yesterday (May 20) was highlighted with a nice look at a male scarlet tanager (pictured above).  The forecast is pretty chilly for wednesday so be prepared.

CALLING ALL BIRD NERDS!!!

Yellow-Rumped Warbler

Rise and shine!  Have you ever wanted to get outside at sunrise and walk around in the morning chill with Mr. Moore while he freaks out over every bird he sees?  Well your chance has arrived.  Early morning bird walks will be starting soon.  With our late spring this year, there aren't a whole lot of migrants back yet, but they'll be coming soon.  So get your binoculars polished up and the coffee brewing.  We will meet at the Sheboygan Marsh Tower on designated days around 6:00am.  All transportation is on your own, this is not an official school field trip, so get your rides figured out ahead of time.

Lake Sturgeon Spawning in the Wolf River

It's that  time of year again when the Lake Sturgeon start their upstream trek to the Shiocton and Shawno areas to spawn. As of today it doesn't seem there is a lot of activity, but based on the forecasted warmup and historical behavior, they should be congregating by mid to late next week (April 27 - 30).  If it stays cool, that will be pushed back a little into early May.  Check the DNR website below for more information.

Last Call For Missing Work

The third quarter ends on Wednesday March 30th.  Any late work not turned in by 3:00pm on Wednesday will be a zero.
