Banana
Slugs
The watershed lands on both sides of Hicks are home to diverse forms of wildlife, including the lowly Banana Slug. Until I came across this spotted specimen, I thought Banana Slugs only came in solid colors. I'd been looking for mushrooms to photograph when I noticed this little fellow on a piece of deadfall. Its coloring was so pale, that in the dim light I thought it was an albino. I have since found scores more in a creek area where their color and spot patterns predominate and solid yellow Banana Slugs are rare.
