Reader Kevin Biskaborn sent a message to our Facebook page saying last week he completed filming a project on a huge school of Emerald Shiners in Lake Simcoe
"The images captured were incredible and I thought maybe you and your followers would be interested. If you're able to share it in any way, that would be awesome," the message continued.
Numbering in the millions, a massive group of Emerald Shiners (Notropis atherinoides) is filmed schooling in the waters of Lake Simcoe. Footage features a giant bait ball as a common loon (Gavia immer) hunts from below and hypnotizing formations of these fish swimming in unison.
