Mark Binkley corrected some of my fish IDs on the NANFA 2001 photos I posted
yesterday.

The unidentified Notropis is actually a spotfin shiner, Cyprinella
spiloptera. (I should have known; the diamond-shaped scales are a dead
giveaway).

And the white sucker is actually a central stoneroller. Duh. One quick look
at the mouth and the placement of the anal fin should have told me that.

Thanks, Mark.
