Carp in Wabash River


These carp are at the surface gulping up air, probably the dissolved oxygen level in the water is a bit low. This is the Wabash River, near the railroad bridge at Lafayette. May 31, 2009.

Link to carp:

The white flecks on the water are cottonwood seeds. Cottonwood seeds are blowing off the trees and are floating in the air like a light snow.

Cottonwood trees (Populus deltoides) are common along the banks of the Wabash River.
