Red Crawdad Chimney

Red Crawdad Chimney


   The lower end of our yard is home to a family of red crawdad.  Though they build these chimneys often, this is the biggest one we've came across, being about 7 or 8 inches across, and about 4 inches high.
   These type of crawdad have been in our yard for years, our hunting dogs used to bay them.  We have had a wetter summer than usual and the crawdad are flourishing.  What little creatures are lurking in your backyard?

Have a Blessed day, wherever you are, Trisha
