I don’t know anything about how Crayfish reproduce, but they must be very good at it. This small swamp area is landlocked except for a time of heavy rain.

Barred Owls have been hunting them for years right here. The water can get low at times, but there is always a few Crayfish around.
Crayfish are popular in Creole dishes, especially around New Orleans and Jackson, Mississippi. Now that i have seen them in my local swamps… it kind of creeps me out !!!!
Great shot !!!
Thanks. As long as we can get some light in that swamp we should be able to photo Owls.
