One of them is privy to perching up in the hornwort and swooping out like a
hawk. His coloration up there is cool tho. Looks like a dark cluster of
algae (no mottling, all dark). Sometimes I even have to look twice :)

remember yrs ago while fish watching in a tiny woodland brook I noticed in a
small pool a pair of eyes protruding from a flat sandy patch. Intrigued I
sat my lawn chair in the pool and sat and watched. Eventually a small minnow
got too close and poof, in a swirl of silt appeared a mouth with a tail and
the minnow was no more. The sculpin wiggled side to side and again all that
showed were his eyes. This was a very cool brook which contained small Brook
Trout which was what I'd come to watch but the sculpin stole the show.
