I collaborate extensively with colleagues from the Gulf Coast research
Laboratory in Ocean Springs and have visited the area multiple times
starting in 2001. It is a wonderful area with exceptionally diverse
range of habitats and rich fauna. The Pascagoula River with its
oxbows is particularly a jewel little known to people outside the
region. I usually do not have any time for photography while I am
there, but hope one day I'll just go there for a visit without a
pressing research agenda.

Good parasites
and a dinner! Angling sheepsheads is a great fun.
A nice fungus
More fungi
High water on Pascagoula allows to enter oxbows easier.

Being
good in the field has its consequences: dissecting the catch back
