Fire and Ice Festival

Here are pictures of some of the ice sculptures.



Snow Geese

Every year we have the enjoyment of watching the Snow Geese in their northern flight ...
Picture taken on February 14, 2009 (front~Canadian Geese - back~ Snow Geese)
Greater snow geese migrate north to the eastern arctic region in spring. Their flyway population is 800,000 and growing by about nine percent annually. Waterfowl biologists are concerned the birds may exceed the carrying capacity of their breeding grounds in the near future without some sort of intervention. The birds are already overtaxing the food sources of their winter range in and around coastal marshes from New Jersey to North Carolina. ~ full story here ~Game Commission ~

What do you want to do tonight?


Remove starfish from our live rock….?

This is us removing the starfish infested rocks.


Helping to find those little starfish.



There’s one…Closer view~


Here’s a pic. Of the starfish we flicked in the sink~
Close up view~


When you have a saltwater tank one of the things you try to encourage is the growth of coralline algae. (The purple color on the live rock.) …but the starfish decided to eat the beautiful purple coralline only to leave behind these white spots. Yea, now we have a speckled live rock (not cool!)


Closer View~


Found another one… So after 3 hours of fishing for starfish from live rock we set the rocks back in the tank.
Observing… only to see another starfish!…oh and there’s another~ Using tweezers we pulled 14 more of those pest… starfish that are speckling our coralline algae… As we all know it only takes two to make a colony. So now that we know they are in there ~ destroying our purple coralline… We will be keeping an eye on our rock…for no starfish seen will be left to roam again!
