So, today I went to both Kellogg Bird Sanctuary and Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery, the latter for the first time. This is, as the name suggests, a fish hatchery for stocking the Great Lakes. They have a really nice little visitor center.
Visitor Center Lobby:
Monarch Chrysalis
3 Baby Chinook Salmon
2 Baby Walleye
Painted Turtle/Goldfish
2 Baby Lake Sturgeon
Baby Muskellunge
3 Baby Steelhead Trout
Presentation room in the Visitor Center:
Arctic Grayling
Sea Lampreys
Show Pond:
Just outside is a large, beautiful pond. You can get free cups of fish food from the Visitor Center and feed the fish. In addition to the fish, I saw a huge diversity of wild butterflies and a wild great blue heron that was probably thinking of sneaking a meal.
NOTE: Trusting the signage on fish that wouldn't show themselves. I only saw the Steelheads.
Steelhead Trout (huge amounts of them that frequently leap out of the water, especially when fed!)
Chinook Salmon
Largemouth Bass
Walleye
Northern Pike
Muskellunge
Lake Sturgeon (2 according to the website)
