A Picture From Hurricane Creek Last Saturday. Yeah, We Have A Drought.

We have a bad drought in north Alabama. We've had about 20 inches (48cm) less rain than is typical by this point in the year. The photo below is of Hurricane Creek at the Walls of Jericho from last Saturday. The exposed rocks in the picture should all be underwater. The low water is one reason at least that we were able to catch 40 telescope shiners in under an hour, a very fast collection rate. This picture shows primo telescope habitat, shallow flowing water over rocks and sand. And that's exactly where they were!
