The wildlife report -- part III

Just one more animal -- a crayfish. I saw him while I was filtering water at the reservoir 20 miles north of here. This is worth mentioning because it was the first time I filtered out of water you could see more than a foot into. Other spots, either the water is too silty (mountain streams especially) or is draining a big cow pasture, in which case the silt is of a different sort. Props to my MSR water filter -- cow water comes through it looking like it belongs in a Brita commercial.
