Little Fish, Big Fish In Matadero Creek
Little Fish, Big Fish In Matadero Creek
Pics from Monday's visit to Matadero Creek, sitting quietly and watching the fish.
Mats of algae break free from tree limbs long-submerged in the creek, and the little fry race over to feed.
Big fish congregate upstream (probably Sacramento suckers, which eat mostly algae, invertebrates, and detritus).
Big boi.
Video of fry clustering around an algae mat to feed (23 seconds).
