Fish nest

This is the second year we've had a bass nest next to the dock. If you look in the lower left hand corner of this picture you'll see a circular area that looks sandy and lighter than the rest of the picture. I am told that the fish sweep the area clean with their tail fins, lay their eggs and then guard the area until the babies are born. If you click on this image to enlarge it you can actually see Mom and Dad in the centre of the nest.
