First stop was a small stream in Portland, ME. Caught some sticklebacks (I think 9 fins?). Also caught some Dace? American eel, and crayfish.

Second stop was an ocean cove in Blue Hill, ME. Tide was out. Caught some killifish, a ground fish, a lot of shrimps, and a silvery fish I couldn't identify.

Finally, stopped at a freshwater pond near Blue Hill. Found a killifish, a cute painted turtle hatchling, and observed some spawning sunfish.

Underwater video of curious sunfish:
Can't wait for summer. I'd love to meet up with others in NE for some collecting this summer--lots to learn.
