A bayou sounds cool. I’m sure there’s a whole different ecosystem there than what I see up here.
A bayou is nothing but a creek. Down here on the Gulf Coast they are both muddy streams. We live near Buffalo Bayou and have property on Oyster Creek, they look the same and the wildlife is basically the same. Snakes, turtles, cat fish and Oyster Creek has alligators, never heard of one in Buffalo Bayou, but there probably are a couple.
