| This little snake cruising down the road
was the closest I came to seeing a Rattlesnake, but he made me jump all
the same. I took this photo in the evening after standing in Pillar H mud
for three hours picking through slime, looking for dragonfly larvae. The
lake is filled with great quantities of slimy filamentous algae with little
red worms crawling all through it. Occasionally we'd find a huge white Horsefly
larvae and I'd wish I hadn't volunteered to help Amy clean out her pens. While standing, slowly sinking into the mud, we heard a sound like rushing wind and looked up to see a flock of birds passing overhead. I've never heard a sound quite like that before. When a Northern Harrier flew by, the little shorebird that lives here rose up crying and flew away. |
