I once took a still of an American Dipper (𝘊𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘴) and thought I photographed a blind bird.
It wasn't until I shot one on video did I learn about their mysterious white eyelids. #Goldstream#BCBirdtrail
Salmon are ubiquitous with BC, but they are as fascinating as they are delicious! A salmon run - the process of moving from stream to ocean and back - is a mystifying cycle that science is still trying to unravel. Learn more about salmon runs right here!
The salmon have returned to Goldstream and we’re back to tweet about it! Wednesday’s count was just under 6,000 Chum in the river. Nature House is open Wednesday- Sunday, 9:30-4.
There’s a slight improvement in salmon numbers- 6380 Chum counted on Saturday. Beautiful day in the park and the river is busy with salmon, gulls, eagles and people! #comebacksalmon#goldstream#yyj#ourbackyard
