Kirkpatrick / Blue Lake ice-out, 6-night spring canoe loop in the Algoma Region near Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada via logging roads with @cabbageleek.bsky.social was a tough one but well worth the physical effort on long portages and the bug-less but restless, nightly chill.

🐌 Today's #InvasiveAlienSpecies is Cipangopaludina chinensis, the Chinese Mystery Snail. 🟢 It can outcompete many native snails, alter water quality and algae diversity, and act as a potential parasite host. ⚪ There are also concerns about it clogging water pipes and attacking fish eggs.

🦫 The next #InvasiveAlienSpecies of Union concern is the Castor canadensis, or the American Beaver. 🌿 It directly competes with the native European beaver, occupying the same ecological niche. 🟤 With its higher reproduction rate, it increases the risk of extinction for the native beaver species.
