September means baby snakes. Young of year Western Massasauga from the Red Hills of south central Kansas. #fieldherping

Forgot to cross post, so it’s a dah behind. Better late than never Although colorful enough to be a REEF fish, I painted it for the RIFT prompt of #sciartseptember and this week’s #sundayfishsketch. Haplochromis obliquidens, a cichlid from Lake Victoria and the rift system of East Africa

Haven’t kept up with #sciartseptember very well. Here’s a plains minnow for the #vanishing prompt from earlier in the week. Once, one of the most common minnows in the sandy drainages of the Kansas and Arkansas rivers, flow regime changes greatly reduced their numbers #sundayfishsketch

#sciartseptember prompt today - islet. Painted Anolis consperus, endemic to Grand Cayman, a small island in the Caribbean.

A pallid sturgeon for this week’s #sundayfishsketch. Found in the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, pallid sturgeons show a preference for swift current and turbid waters. Listed as an endangered species both federally and in Kansas.

A common stream fish in eastern Kansas. Attractive in aquariums and good bait. #sundayfishsketch

Happy shark awareness day.

Barely a sketch, but a 15 minute quick paint for my guess of Red Shiner for this week’s #SundayFishSketch X #25DaysOfFishmas crossover

Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is my guess for this week’s #25DaysOfFishmas X #SundayFishSketch crossover event.

December 1 means the kick off of the annual crossover pairingnof #25daysoffishmas and #SundayFishSketch. Here’s my guess on the clues given - Pirate Perch

Blue fish theme for this week’s #SundayFishSketch. Blue Sucker

Messing around - Big fish little fish #SundayFishSketch

-Color and a mammal - long lived (100 yrs) Those were the hints Black buffalo for this week’s #SundayFishSketch x #25DaysOfFishmas
