Rained Out

Unfortunately the rain yesterday made water levels rise and sampling impossible in the Normans Kill where we wanted to go. Here's a picture of me looking forlornly at the Normans Kill, which the day before was no more than 65cm deep and easily wade-able. Whereas today I did not even bother to step off of the shore.

We went south and continued to survey streams to find locations we could sample in the future. We also stopped at the Vloman Kill where we ran into this species:

This is a banded killifish (Fundulus diaphanus), which are common in the Hudson River. We found this one while searching the mud flats at the Vloman Kill where it was likely looking for invertebrates to eat.
