And the collecting continues

Early this morning, at 2:00 AM, half the group ventured out onto the
lake to continue collecting specimens for our field problem. After
breakfast the second half of the group began to process the data that
was gathered. Some counted Macrohectopus (small, shrimp-like organisms),
others examined the stomach content of larger fish. Today was Professor
Moore's birthday. We enjoyed a full day celebration -- eating cake,
smoked native fish, and butter mushrooms from the forest. Now we are
starting to prepare for our five day expedition up the lake, to which
the weather was not so friendly, as it rained and hindered our ability
to do all our laundry. However towards the end it cleared up and we had
a nice day.
