Скачать или смотреть Shorthead Redhorse in Spawning Coloration

I got lucky and stumbled upon these spawning Shorthead Redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum) in a nearby stream this spring while out with a friend . If you spend enough time watching just about any stream, it's amazing how often you'll notice some amazing behavior or life event taking place right before your eyes, especially during the spring and summer when so many of our native freshwater fish are carrying out important parts of their lifecycle. Having a GoPro on hand at all times definitely seems to pay off. It's hard to pick a good spot where the fish are in frame without disturbing spawning areas. In this case it worked out really well, with this fish in particular posing perfectly for the camera.
