Ink sketches from this week. Day four of lampreys of Wisconsin. They're kind of boring. #SundayFishSketch
Talked wetlands on a paddle this morning with the Two Rivers Parks and Rec department. Picked up some trash. Saw a green heron. #GreatLakes

Done with the darters (well, "darter," because log perch is still to come), so today for #SundayFishSketch is the freshwater drum (aka sheepshead).

Twin Cities Marathon to move later in the fall starting 2027, citing hot weather
The Twin Cities Marathon is moving to later in the season, as the warming climate has caused problems for the early-October race in recent years.
