Re: [Killietalk] Fundulus diaphanus (Banded Killifish)

The picture listed below is the type of water where I collected the fish. 
It's silty and muddy and less than 6" deep.. right at the waters edge. The 
fish hung out around that log while the rest of the shore there was mostly 
dace and chub.

The ducks were rather perturbed that I was paying more attention to the 
fish then them and showed up in my shots. There was also a blue heron 
checking us out though it didnt make the pictures. Last time it was 
Canadian geese that wouldn't get out of the way :)

Here's a general idea of what the lake looks like. It's actually a sunset 
picture, but well it was pretty so I'll include it ;-)
