Hi Greg, can you please stop using the Wildlife and Wetlands mission for NE USA states when your spottings are not within the defined area.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Thank you Jim...Salt Creek is a nice oasis of Death Valley & the pupfish are adorable.
Nice posting, Greg! I live within an easy drive of Death Valley...and I have not seen these guys. I need to get out there.
