BROOKE’S LATEST PHOTO JOURNAL

When Brooke began sending weekly photos as he performed his Winter Monitoring duties at St. Marks NWR, little did he know the ‘monster’ he was creating. We now have an insatiable appetite for pictures, and pictures, and more pictures of the Class of 2012 and the action at St. Marks.
