Hi All,

Just a quick note to say hi and I hope you are all doing well! Many apologies for ignoring any threads or messages over the past couple months, it was definitely not intentional! I have been extremely busy with transitioning from Ann Arbor (Michigan) to Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, and have been away for fieldwork in Green Bay, WI back and forth for the past two months. Anyway, I am going to try to get on here more regularly and get up to speed with everyone and all the gar/bowfin stuff going on as much as possible!

As a quick preview to some of the cool stuff we have (unexpectedly) seen in the field, check out this pic from last week...I never thought I would see gars on this project, let alone this species. More updates to come!--

Hi Solomon,

Welcome back to MFK! We've missed you and your advice :)
I hope for you that you can start building a private collection again soon.
Nice SNG(?) in the pic, what where you mainly collecting?

PS-- if you guys are ever headed to Shedd be sure and let me know! nearly all my large gars are now on exhibit there (pics coming soon), including the Croc II which has already continued to grow at relatively faster rate (along with the gator). they are currently the only gars on exhibit at Shedd, so chances are you all saw them before anyone else!--
