The bluegill was in the following picture, but it's not showing up. I identified it confidently due to my familiarity with the appearance of the species: the light blue tail and dark gray gill flap were most obvious; alas, the fish are almost invisible in the photo below. Some small fish-shaped forms are visible towards the center of the image, and the darkness of the gill flap in comparison to the rest of the body can be clearly seen on two towards the right. The red tinge is due to the fish's bodies. 




River Biome
Pinus strobus

An extremely placid tributary feeding Lake George.
