The other mistake was my miscomprehension of recent new species designations
within the darter genus Percina: the "logperch" in the Coosa area is now
(since 1998?) considered to be Percina kathae rather than P. caprodes,
historically a more inclusive taxon. I had thought that kathae was only
north of the Tennessee. I'm still adapting to living in an area that has
more than two species of darter after my time living in low-biodiversity
Massachusetts(!).
