Field Notes

Description:

Approximately 3 inches in length. Red, yellow and black vertical stripes. Silver-white face and white fins. Very fast. Photographed in a small, freshwater stream. These are nuptial males, hence the bright colors.

Habitat:

Freshwater stream, central Georgia.

Notes:

Canon 80D, 70-300mm lens.

Special thanks to the Facebook groups "Georgia Wildlife & Landscapes" and "North Georgia Naturalist", as well as some micro-fishing experts, who helped me with the ID.
