Field Notes

Description:

Small darter at maybe 3 inches... The snail darter can be positively identified by the 4"saddles" on its back as shown in the 2nd picture.

Notes:

We did not realize what this was until we had it in the bag I took some quick pictures and we released it. Snail Darters are an endangered species only found in East Tennessee.
