Carp feedingEach year in the late spring, the school of carp return from their winter feeding grounds to their home at Quarry Marina.  It's amazing how they come back to the same place each year, specifically to the same stalls.  This morning 8 carp appeared in the front stall "begging" to be fed!  I recognized one of the carp as one that has been here for at least 6 years...it has a unique crooked mouth!  An internet article stated that common carp can live up to 25 years in the wild......so our carp will be returning for a long time and hopefully their numbers will increase!
