Two coolers of fresh Lake Ontario yellow perch in the lab! My seniors will be working these up for capstone research projects. So grateful for good relationships with anglers and seafood processors that make these projects possible. 🐠 🧪

Outside my office window! This beautiful barred owl looks a little worried that I’m going to try and steal her red squirrel snack. 🦉 I love living in the woods!
