The results are in! Good work everyone!!!

The results are in!! The Pearl River watershed had an extreme glow-up thanks to hundreds of volunteers, sponsors, and supporters along the Pearl, Strong, and Bogue Chitto Rivers and the Ross Barnett Reservoir pitching in to give their communities the gift of cleaner water! Red Bluff volunteers rappelled down cliffs, 4-H Kayak Clubs kayaked for miles on the Upper Pearl, over 100 Jacksonians and Boy Scouts scoured the banks of the river to protect the source water at our drinking water plant, many dedicated Site Leaders celebrated their 8th consecutive year of supporting the Sweep, residents of Monticello came together with industry partners for cleanup and fellowship, the Pearl River, Louisiana location on their 13th year said this was the cleanest they have ever seen the river, a local LA small business surprised volunteers with lunch and support, Osprey Initiative provided recycling support, 5 local colleges and 4 Keep MS Beautiful affiliates participated, and we could go on and on. So many stories of the community coming together for the sake of the river. Thank you all so much! Mark your calendars on the 3rd Saturday of September for the 9th annual Clean Sweep!

When the swamp looks like this, it doesn't even look real to me.

It's this whole magical world that only exist in the books that we read or in our daydreams...Or for some our nightmares. 💚

Swamps have this living biofilm that I'm in love with.

When a swamp is stagnant, that means there is no motion to the water which leads to lower oxygen in the water.

There is nothing to break apart organic materials in the swamp...so there is this awesome bacteria that does this for us!

It is clear or petroleum sheen that carpets the surface of the water. It tends to change colors with pollen falling on top or if it's just rained.

Otherwise known as pond scum, it's an indicator of a healthy swamp system.

It definitely adds to the magic of the swamp 💚

There is something about getting to see the water line in the swamp that has my 💚.

Living in a flood plain, where water levels can change drastically within a couple of days, has always fascinated me. The evidence of the change sometimes lingers in a good way.

On, the second picture if you look to the right, I marked in blue the water line change over 3 days.

The first is at a water level of 16 feet. The next day the water had dropped to 15.4. We had a huge storm that night, which lead to local rain runoff stalling the river dropping by a day. It's evident in the second line that appears black. The third day the river dropped to 14 feet.

Being in a kayak, eye level with the water line sure gives a perspective most people don't get to see. 💚

This is the perfect weather to go look for the Honey Island Swamp Monster!

There is something about this part of the swamp that is so picturesque. 😍

10/06/2023

I'll never tire of sunset tours. It started to drizzle a little and that always adds to the magic of the swamp. 😍

This is so exciting!!

Limpkin were first observed in Louisiana in 2017. We finally saw our first one in the swamp this year!!!

About 2 weeks ago, one showed up and seemed to be hanging around. I suspected there was more then one and confirmed there were 3 yesterday. Today, we had even more!! At least a dozen!

They eat invasive apple snails which is so cool! Luckily, we don't have the snails where we take the tours so hopefully these birds keep it that way.

Here is one eating a mussel! 🤩

Raining in the swamp.🤩

This is crazy!!! Y'all have to come see this. The flooding is finally going down and we get to see what's been happening underneath us. The river has deposited a ton of fresh sand in the swamp!! We don't normally have beaches in swamps!

We were totally not expecting to see this Rough Green Tree Snake today!!!

Honey Island Kayak Tours

Not what we wanted to do today, or the best video, but.... This 4 ft alligator was caught in a fishing line. Our hero, Mike, was able to safely free the alligator. The video ends when he lost his knife strapped to the gators head, lmao!! Another reason for fisherman to pick up their lines!!! It gets really frustrating trying to free wildlife. We are happy this was a success story.

Ugh!!!! This kind of thing happens more then it should. There is a form of fishing here called "limb lines". Fisherman tie nylon line with a hook from a tree. They are fishing for catfish. The problem is that our water levels fluctuate so often and the men do not come back to retrieve their hooks once they are exposed. We were able to cut the Egret free, but could not get the line from being wrapped around it's wing. If you are going to fish and enjoy time outdoors, do it responsibly!!! 😡😡 Short follow up video in comments.
