Salmon Run

Debbie saw a salmon run sign just a few blocks from our neighborhood so we went to check it out. These are Sockeye salmon, they are bright red; it was really interesting to see them slowly swim up stream. They would stop and rest in the calm water, and they would get a burst of energy and splash through the rapids. They are nearing the end of their journey, several were laying eggs. The stream is on a pipeline that has horse trails, so Caroline got to talk to a few horses.
