Pat, I agree. They are amazing contributors to the food chain. I watch them year after year recover from a terrible winter decimation rising like a phoenix. They are one of the few prey species you can add to pond full of fish and get many times their weight in offspring produced. They produce way more forage than most give them credit for.
