COTTONMOUTH/WATER MOCCASIN

I saw this guy last year down in Bayou country. He was one of about 6 or 7 that were sunning themselves in the area. Good thing they are not poisonous.

I once caught a sea gull while wade fishing near Galveston.

My father always told me this story about how he was fly-fishing and ended up catching, of all things, a flycatcher. Poor little birdie fluttered around as my dad reeled him in. I think he would have rather caught a sea gull because he likes flycatchers.
