I was out with some students today working on a darter habitat partitioning project in the upper Flint River of north Alabama. Besides netting an amazingly beautiful big male greenside darter, we also netted a blotchside chub, Erimystax insignis. I've never seen one in the Flint before, so I take that as a good sign since it's a pretty rare species in the north Alabama rivers running south out of Tennessee. Also in that net were a bunch of redline and banded darters, from a fast-flowing riffle system over cobble and boulders about 30 cm deep.

No, we were out in the middle of the river in a fairly deep, fast stretch and I didn't have my camera on me, even as I've been making a bigger effort to keep my new waterproof camera at hand all the time. I also missed a photo op on a huge male greenside in vivid dark color...
