A creek or crick is called a branch here. Any red colored bird is a red bird. Any yellow colored bird a yellow bird, etc. Perch are called trout. Lightening storms follow rivers, and come back around. An oyster roast is when you start a fire in a discarded 55 gallon drum, toss a sheet of rusty galvanized corrugated roofing over it, and then dump a bushel of oysters on that. You stand around sweating and drinking beer until the oysters pop open, all the while feeding the swarms of mosquitos and batting away gnats. Once you get past the smell of the hot pluff mud ( a layer of biologically active thigh-deep black muck found in the marshes and oyster beds ) they are very tasty, and generally won't make you throw up until 4 in the morning.
