Some pics from the Crail-Grabarkiewicz-Buri bonanza at Sharon Mills dam, River Raisin, Michigan.

The girls were showing off this fine evening (cardium and fasciola esp.), luring their piscivorous lovers into fostering their semi-parasitic young. I think Todd got some excellent footage, which I am sure he will have up in no time.

Participants- Todd Crail, Erika Buri, Jeff Grabarkiewicz
Equipment- wetsuits, mask and snorkel (and cameras!)
Date- A lovely Thursday evening, 5/31/2007

Species list:

(Live)
Alasmidonta viridis
Cyclonaias tuberculata
Elliptio dilatata
Fusconaia flava
Lampsilis cardium
Lampsilis fasciola
Strophitus undulatus
Villosa iris

(Dead)
Alasmidonta marginata

Nice Stuff Jeffro!

I had to make an emergency run to get a cooler of mine that was apparently contaminating the LEC wet lab, so I didn't get much done tonight.

But I think you'll want to see this:
