Notice on ewest's picture that the sand and light fluffy sediment has been swept out of the middle of the nest and piled up around the lower perimeter margin. I commonly see this happen in ponds where the nest rocks get 'silty' during the non-spawn season and a male bass returns to the nest site and re-cleans the area.
