I don't know of any endangered fish here in SW Ohio, but I am glad to say the Bald Eagle, which was recently taken off the endangered list, is starting to appear around Caesars Creek Lake. They have spotted them here for ten years, but no one has gotten pictures of them. I have been on a mission to get the first pictures all winter, to no avail....:sad2:

 

You are probably like me.If your neighbors ain't killed you by now,you owe them the Poodle.:wink:

I love you Brothers and Sisters.peewee

 

Gars and bowfins are on the endangered list here in SE PA.

 

There are several minnows that nobody except the biologists even can identify or care about here.also the Gila trout which I do think is worth saving.

 

The only ones here in illinois that i can think of is the Alligator Gar, Lake Sturgeon, Shovelnose Sturgeon, im pretty sure there are more, but i cant think of em right this moment. Alligator Snapping Turtle is Endangered here also!!!!!
