The world according to me....

One of my favorite things that I get to do here in North Carolina is to go out on the poundnets on Core Sound. They are a good source for temporarily capturing healthy juvenile loggerhead turtles, and several research projects rely on them to provide study subjects. But there is much much more to see than just turtles when you go out to the poundnets on the Sound. Some things that come to mind include interesting fish, lots of birds, spectacular skies, and of course the interesting company. I heard that once they even found a live manatee in a poundnet, although a certain somebody who shall remain nameless forgot to bring her camera so there is no photo record of the event. Each trip is special and involves its own unique adventures. I look forward to hearing today's stories from Wendy and Larisa, who will get back a little bit later from their trip to check out the poundnets.
