Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada (Toe Biter)?
Hi there,
Brian Watters (Cache Slinger) from Canada piping in with my first post. I was reading on another site that these fellows range from Mexico thru California, though I'm certain I've seen this very type on both the East Coast of Canada, and now here again in North Western Alberta, along the Saskatchewan border. I've got a couple of close up photos of the one my daughter and I returned to the water today while out bike riding. I hope I'll see a an option to upload the photo when I click the post comment button. If not, can someone let me know where I can upload it?
- Brian
