You bet that someone stepped on that one and got a nasty cut.<br /><br />Joy- You are welcome<br /><br />Thanks Janet- Be on the lookout for freshwater mussels doing this, I found several on the Olentangy back when I lived closer to the river.<br /><br />Squirrel- Actually, the stronghold for freshwater mussels is in North America. It is a hotbed of biodiversity for them.<br /><br />Tulip- You are welcome.<br /><br />TomTom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-89344351968288409552009-09-27T02:51:01.326-04:002009-09-27T02:51:01.326-04:00wonderful photos, thanks for the videos. i enjoyed...wonderful photos, thanks for the videos. i enjoyed watching it. <br /><br />my entry: http://southbrowneyes.blogspot.com/Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760999271284394908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-18005149136971959432009-09-27T00:10:50.053-04:002009-09-27T00:10:50.053-04:00I can't believe this something found on the co...I can't believe this something found on the continent!!!

Apparently, the big danger now is that they will make it into the Red River and eventually head up into Canada as well. Yikes.<br />Anyway, thanks for the info...<br />KitKithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999597886958429428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-89091472516273482852009-09-26T10:50:14.774-04:002009-09-26T10:50:14.774-04:00Wow ... interesting, educational post and wonderfu...Wow ... interesting, educational post and wonderful YouTubes.

Ohio watched as they came in- I don't think anything can be done, but I would suggest contacting your department of natural resources for more advice.<br /><br />Thanks Buford- That is quite an interesting observation!<br /><br />TomTom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-1934826348140117872009-09-26T07:43:27.408-04:002009-09-26T07:43:27.408-04:00Good job, Tom.

I do have a question, since you seem to know about mussels...<br />We're from ND but have a lake home in Minnesota where they've just discovered (ugh) Zebra Mussels. We are all very worried about the ramifications of this. I read that crawfish are a natural predator...do you know anything about the ZMussels or what to do when they show up? Sounds like there's no hope.<br /><br />Thanks much!<br />KitKithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999597886958429428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-12220851966332551612009-09-25T21:54:03.833-04:002009-09-25T21:54:03.833-04:00That is so cool!
