Awesome critters Rob -- I'm firmly in the 1-2% of the message board who actually give a rat's a__ about that sort of thing.  You can learn a lot about nature by observing it directly.   

The other day at 4MR I was getting bass following my soft hackle all the way back to where I was standing, which generally results in the fish spooking suddenly (either due to the sudden appearance of a large, gangly hominid standing there like an idiot or the realization that the fish is now quite far from its previous cover).  Even when I ran out of line to twitch, I could jiggle the rod tip and get takes, requiring a roll cast hookset.  That's a fun one.  Kind of like when a brook trout decides to take the fly *right as it drifts over the lip into the next pool. 

Animal behavior man -- nothing else in the world is really interesting....period, and those who can't appreciate it will die lonely and miserable.
