I am going to try cobbling together video clips depicting key behaviors of the male Northern Bluegill and possibly some of the females. I think spawning will occur in the AM tomorrow.

Tail sweeping. Male orients over nest sites, clamps tail then undulates while pushing back with pectoral fins as tail dips down into substrate where substrate is displaced.



Duration of recordings two short. Will fix tomorrow.
