Close-up of several of these endangered mussels from Hawkins Creek in West Virginia.
This fellow taught me most of what I know about canoeing and instilled in me his tremendous wonderment at the beauties of nature. On this canoe trip down French Creek in northwestern Pennsylvania, we saw Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, Great Blue Herons and many more birds who shared their world with us for a few hours. French Creek is our "Ecological Treasure" and home to 25 species of freshwater mussels including two state and federally endangered species, the clubshell and northern riffleshell, as well as the hellbender salamander.
