Wake Crossroads, NC

If you've been reading my blog previously, you know that I've had reports from other members of my family that they have seen at least 2 different American eels in our creek (Dunn Creek).  But yesterday I got to SEE an eel! Weird and crazy (and kinda creepy)!

So above you can see what I found when I went down to the creek.  The eel is just wrapped around the root in the picture, just hanging out.  I don't know if it was intentional or not, as the water was much higher than that about an hour earlier.  Where the eel is, was underwater completely by about another foot or so at that time. 

Below is the first video of the eel, and then below that is the second of the release.  I finally saw an eel in our creek!  Yay!

And now you can see, too!
