Notes
Spotted crossing a shallow water crossing in a creek with less than an inch of flowing water. Hunting Notropis as they crossed the road like salmon moving upstream. We watched it catch and eat one fish, then stopped it for a photo. It regurgitated the minnow upon capture.
Very heavy bodied yearling (?) female.
