Gulf pipefish and juvenile bald eagle observed during ABNC Bayou Lab Class last week.
During an ABNC Bayou Lab class with San Jacinto College last week, we caught and released a beautiful gulf pipefish. It is a member of the pipefish and seahorse family. Males possess a deep ventral pouch for incubating eggs and developing embryos. The Gulf pipefish is a marine species that inhabits a variety of freshwater habitats including bayous, creeks and rivers. We also saw a juvenile bald eagle. Photos by Stacy Holcomb
