One of the staff brought in a bowl full of these tiny black wiggly things, thinking they are tadpoles. We are going to let them age a little and find out exactly what they are. One of the fathers (a stream ecologist) thinks they may be leeches!

Aquatic Adventures Week (July 23 - 27)
During the Aquatic Adventures Week of camp the campers will play in the many streams on and around the property, explore how many critters live in or depend on the streams for survival and learn what they can do to help the Chesapeake Bay. Environmental Concern from St. Michaels is coming on Wednesday to teach them about wetlands with a program called Shrek's Swamp.

We now think it is a mixture of tadpoles, leeches and even a snail. There is still an egg present that looks like a frog egg. We will keep watching them.
