 p.1 #1 · Death on the Little Qualicum | |
On Vancouver Island, in the Pacific Northwest, this time of year brings not only a change of colour and the falling of leaves, but also the Salmon spawn on the Little Qualicum River. Already, most of the salmon have spawned and thousands upon thousands of dead salmon are on the banks of the river, submerged at the bottom of the river, or have floated downstream and into the ocean.
A large number of salmon eggs also get carried down into the ocean. This spectacle brings all types of wildlife in to feed on the live and dead salmon, as well as the eggs.
I don't know my fish very well, but I think these are either Chum Salmon or Coho Salmon.

#2 - Still alive, with only a day or two yet to live.
#3 - Trying to get by the closed gates further up river at the hatchery.

Good job on this set. 
Sorry I didn't wait long enough. I meant #6. The rest of the set is awesome as well.
