Field Notes

Habitat:

coastal areas, also found in river systems, but tends to prefer salinity, resulting in the species congregating in brackish lakes, mangrove swamps, lagoons, cays, and small islands

Notes:

Smaller of 2 seen on this day. You can see the colors better on pic 1 as it had just come out of the water.
