Good Morning!
Β Thank you !Β  Well maybe someday you will find one. They like marshes and swamps. Look for them around fallen trees or logs, as they use them for perches to hunt from.

Hi Cindy, thank you!
Β yeah I was about the distance between telephone poles away from it. The water is wicked low and this spot was the only place that had some in it. Along the shore line, it's all just wicked deep black muck... like chocolate pudding..you step in and just keep on sinking. I tried to find a place to sneak in, but I could push a stick easily 4 feet in the mud and not touch bottom!

Yup... would've looked like the "swamp monster" or a big "chocolate covered ice cream bar " if I did try !
