    I see the little ripples from them and there are TONS!!! i'm thinking about catching a few and feed them to my toads. My only worry is parasites *sp* do you think it's possible for them to be parasite free? This drainage ditch eventually leads to the ocean.

    I think it is possible but chances are low. Since it is still a drainage :eek:

    lol yup, although we haven't seen the crawdad's in the yeard for a while, we think the bird's that got them were the long legged white ones, they looked a lot like storkes, but were pure white
