I will keep you all posted.
I would image that simple creatures realize pending
weater changes much more than humans do. Our dog has actually
become more nutty before each of these storms.

bk wrote I live in South Florida and we get large blue crabs at this
time of
year.
I know I have some in the yard right now. I saw one on the bottom of a
pool
last week.

Maybe he knows something about Hurricane Jeanne that Florida should pay
attention to...
Blue crabs eat a variety of foods, including fishes, oysters, clams,
snails,
shrimp, worms and other crabs. At high tide, crabs may swim into the salt
marsh
to pluck snails from the tall grass. At times, they burrow into the bottom
with
only their eye stalks visible, lying in wait for an unsuspecting fish.
(This makes for an interesting mental picture!) ---- Crabs are
opportunistic
feeders, meaning they will eat what is most available regardless of their
size,
the season or the area they inhabit.

Hmmmm. I think if I found one of these fellows in my pond he'd be evicted!
But that said, this is the first time I've seen any worries posted about
blue
crabs. Let us know your experience with them, if they enter the pond, how
easy
(I hope) they were to catch, if you saw them menacing the fish in any way.
