A School of Shiner Perch! This large school of fish was circling the Whaletown dock while being pursued by a Red-necked Grebe. When feeding on the surface the fish make a sound like the popping of tiny bubbles. Instead of laying eggs these shiners are ovoviviparous and the females carry the young till they are quite large.
