If you seek fairy shrimp, I can only say good luck. When I accidentally found them I had no idea how rare they are. When I shared the excitement of my discovery I found that several friends had been looking for fairy shrimp for years to no avail. As a naturalist who often hears about the most amazing fungus, or the rare sighting of a lynx, or the once-in-a-lifetime slime mold growth, but always seems to miss it, I am no stranger to feeling everyone sees the cool stuff but me. Be safe of course, but persevere. They are there and this is the season. Or just go looking for something else entirely–and they may find you. ~ Karen O. Zimmermann
