Like a lot of birds, I prefer to avoid harsh winters, but "friends" find me in the tropics too #TalkNature https://t.co/f4Mufy3J57

Solomon, en route from Erie PA to Ann Arbor MI; brought a feathered "friend" too

@SBurgess84 haha! just assumed you were tying in some sports there :) BUT historically, there were wolverines in Michigan too! #talknature

@showard_TNC @pjdgreatlakes I want to see his underwater fish call next...or maybe @Etheostomatt (FW drum)? #talknature

@SBurgess84 @pjdgreatlakes @nature_MI um, that was AWESOME. #talknature

@OutsideTheBoxEE possibly affect metabolism/energy stores; warm enough to use energy, cool enough for lack of food/low-activity #TalkNature

@murryloux @pjdgreatlakes must also keep in mind that #GreatLakes water levels naturally fluctuate on short/long time scales. #talknature

@ecoscigeek we know that SOME animals do quite well in winter! #talknature @noelrozny @JMSlutzker https://t.co/St8aJYvjhJ

@SBurgess84 gar wait until warm temps in spring/early summer; but longer winter means spawn later. earlier spring, spawn earlier #TalkNature

I'm Solomon David, fish ecologist Shedd Aquarium & @WiscLimnology in Chicago #TalkNature

@KLMarciniak YES! All on my list for sure! I've got some fishes to track there too. Will definitely be in touch! #TalkNature

@KLMarciniak I'm going to tap you for all suggested sites! Only one I've never visited! #TalkNature

@showard_TNC @JMSlutzker answer is the same in either case! #TalkNature #GreatLakes

@SBurgess84 clearly the #GreatLakes bring both @michiganstateu and @UMich alums to agreement :) cc @JMSlutzker #TalkNature

.@LFeldkamp you can report sightings of gar & bowfin via @shedd_aquarium's new #GreatLakes app! www.sheddaquarium.org/About-Us/Press-Room1/Pre... #GarWars #TalkNature

Fish expert blasts bowfishing tournament; says gar import... Researcher concerned about bowfishing tournament's impact...

.@DavidELPC David was a big help in getting THIS word out http://sgfnow.co/1FZ3WTj #GarWars #TalkNature

Biggest hope/goal for native fish? That all native species are recognized as valuable parts of ecosystem & treated so #GarWars #Talknature

@ConnectedWaters absolutely! best birthday dinner, and promoting conservation of my favorite fish! #GarWars #TalkNature

.@DavidELPC well, my nickname was "solo" in college...and the gar part has kind of built along the way :) #GarWars #TalkNature

@DavidELPC @ConnectedWaters yes, must maintain balance. right now we're on the generally "useless" end w/ gars #GarWars #TalkNature

.@DavidELPC @nature_brains @Rick_Bayless @StephAndTheGoat love a tasty gar! #GarWars #TalkNature http://t.co/sg3bqgRJrh
