They encountered lots of rain and experienced cold conditions but still managed to have a good time. Towards the end of their time at the pond, they did see loons. Upon returning back to school they consumed some much-needed food and then went to watch some videos on loons and other natural phenomena.  Pictures taken by Liam Rochleau. LINK TO PICTURES
