Skippy is a Nemasket River fish adopted by S. Bradley, W. McDonald, and K. Cassidy; some of his adopters helped participate in collecting the 625 river herring that were transported to the Ipswich River for restoration. Skippy was tagged, transported, and released on April 30.
Queequeg was last seen by the stationary receiver at Site 8 in the Great Wenham Swamp on May 1, 2007 at 10:14 am. We have been manually tracking Skippy since then, in the Bunker Meadows pond in the Audubon.
