Unfavorable weather has made it a slow week at Mill Creek. We’ve been unable to open nets due to consistent nightly wind, rain, and dashes of snow. Though, the prior brief warm weather brought out other denizens of the night: choruses of spring peepers, salamander road crossings, even porcupine and coyote encounters!
