Overall: Looks solid! No issues. I've added a Wikimedia Commons category. With ALT1 I wasn't sure if Indian Voices is considered a reliable source so I found an extra source confirming that point. The website covering the list of fish seems to be down, so I'm applying AGF on that (and it's not important anyway). Minor point: the sources, especially the 2015 one which seems the most professional, seem to agree that the California gnatcatcher isn't a major presence in the area so I would maybe reduce the prominence of it e.g. from the lead.
