I grew up celebrating NH&F Day. Coming Sept. 26 to waters & woods near you.

The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation's mission is to work with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping. We're proud to have them as a sponsor of National Hunting & Fishing Day!

Wonderful piece from my friend, Ranjit. I just learned there is an American bird in Dvořák's American Quartet. I just learned there was a Dvořák! And I love scarlet tanagers and red-eyed vireos.

We had a recent confirmed sighting of a breaching sturgeon in a tributary of the Corrotoman River, lower Rappahannock River.

They’re known to inhabit three river systems around the Chesapeake Bay. But biologists suspect a remnant population of Atlantic sturgeon remains in Virginia’s Rappahannock River, and some believe there is potential for their presence in several Maryland rivers, including the Potomac, Pocomoke, Patuxent, Chester and Susquehanna. https://www.bayjournal.com/news/fisheries/sturgeon-are-full-of-surprises-including-that-they-re-here/article_43ac6004-3594-47d1-b72d-60e9e37a14fc.html
