I worked with a Cajun down on Lake Okeechobee many years ago. He was a naturalist for the Audubon society and had grown up in his dad's hunt camp in Louisiana.
I was raised in and around the woods by my dad but I am still trying to figure out how he could recognize all the pertinent details of the critters we were observing. He could spot a bird, ID it and it's gender before I could see much at all... and when we pulled the boat up closer he was always correct.
I've never seen someone who had greater competency in their vocation. It was amazing, to me, to get to spend time with someone who was truly salt of the earth.

Good times.
