Painted turtles sunbathe the muddy waters of Towaliga Creek , 'Flathead Cat' roll it's mysterious surface in the devilish heat Summertime Carp confused in the stagnant , turbid abyss appear prior to sunset , Blue Heron and raptors of every lineage pay homage to 'Creek Hunter' kindred spirits Bass explode in the Cattail brush , Pileated Woodpeckers tap adieu to the Katydid chorus Brown Owls call downstream in the night music symphony Instruments that sound with increasing intensity
