Crawfish have long been important to the culture of the author's native Louisiana. They are now especially important with their culture being integrated with rice farming. Crawfish are important food resources for carnivorous and omnivorous birds, especially water birds. Their culture in Louisiana provides invaluable habitat for all manner of birds and other wildlife.
