I was fortunate to see some desert pupfish at San Sebastian Marsh aka San Felipe Creek Ecological Reserve. Desert pupfish have been introduced to different parts of the region, but I don't believe they've ever been introduced at San Sebastian Marsh, so the fish I saw were native. They're really fascinating fish, and I tell a little about them in this video with footage of my visit.

NIce find! I found an article indicating pupfish were reintroduced to San Sebastian marsh in 5/1985 after surveys found no fish. Apparently the population fluctuates considerably with some surveys finding no fish only to have them bounce back by the next. Looks like they're doing well in your video!

Good to know about the 5/1985 reintroduction. Thanks, I hadn't seen that one! I'm glad the fish are doing well this year.
