We are in the middle of a great season. Life is everywhere in spring. Flowers are blooming all over Nagoya, and butterflies are flying around above them. At Fujimae Tidal Flat in the Nagoya Port area, thousands of birds stop by as they move from south to north for the summer. Other birds stay longer and breed in the area. Last weekend, I went out on the tidal flat with two groups. We watched the birds come to the tidal flat to eat, and then we explored the tidal flat ourselves. We found many living creatures there: freshwater clams, crabs, and hermit crabs. Then, we caught baby stone flounder and an eel in the shallow waters. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
