At a recent work day on the Taum Sauk Section of the OT in Johnsons Shut-Ins State Park I noticed these tadpoles in a small puddle right in the scour path. Nature is coming back at a fast pace in this area that was scraped clean of trees, dirt, and life. Water runs down the scour and is slowly recreating the creek that once was here. Life is in the creek too, with small fish. At the top of the picture the new construction of the AmerenUE Reservoir can be seen.
