Spawnin' for the very first time!
An easy P&G and part of a series related to the program described in the web page cited below.
This cache is an homage to: The Atlantic Sturgeon: The Symbol of The Hudson River Estuary.
Atlantic sturgeon may live more than 60 years, reaching a weight of 800 pounds and a length of fourteen feet. They are armored with bony plates, evidence of a lineage extending back to the age of dinosaurs.
Sturgeon are bottom feeders, using whisker-like barbels on the underside of their snouts to find food - chiefly worms, insects, crustaceans, and small fish - that is sucked up in their tube-like mouths. While they prefer deep water, sturgeon occasionally bask at the surface and leap into the air.
Atlantic sturgeon spend most of their lives in ocean waters near estuaries. Adults spawn in fresh water from May through July, mainly from Hyde Park to Catskill. Young fish may stay in the Hudson up to eight years before going to sea, where they wander in and out of rivers north to Canada and south to Georgia. Males return to spawn as early as age 12. Females return closer to age 20. For more information, go to: Atlantic sturgeon may live more than 60 years, reaching a weight of 800 pounds and a length of fourteen feet.
