Croakers are a member of the drum family. All drums are able to make a loud drumming or croaking sound by vibrating their swim bladder using special muscles. Atlantic croakers are the loudest of the drums. #FishFriday chesapeakebay.net/discover/f…

When too many nutrients enter rivers, streams and the Chesapeake Bay, they fuel algae blooms and create conditions that are harmful for underwater life. Excess nutrients are the main cause of the Bay’s poor health. chesapeakebay.net/issues/nut…

After capturing prey, osprey will rearrange the fish in its feet so the fish is facing forward. This reduces drag, making it easier for the osprey to fly.
