Field Notes

Description:

Based on the fleshy remains of others in the immediate vicinity, this is a sand bass.

Notes:

The small stream that passes under this footbridge is apparently a popular place for fishermen to dump carcasses they don't want to keep. The skull in this photograph is actually taller than the water was deep.
