Red-Tailed Hawk at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park
Spotted this beauty just west of Byrne Road in Fraser Foreshore Park in SE #Burnaby today.
Coho, Chum Spawning on Byrne Creek in Burnaby
I didn’t have time for a complete spawner patrol on Byrne Creek in Burnaby, but I took a peek between the bridges and in the sediment pond coming home from some errands.
Two dead coho between the bridges, I reached and processed one of them, male, not spawned, 43cm. The other one was not reachable without rubber boots.
Also saw 4 live chum below Southridge, but I did not have time to check the ravine.
NOTE: I like to add that streamkeepers have training from PSKF, and permission from DFO and the City of Burnaby to monitor spawning salmon, and process them for species, sex, size, and spawning status after they die.
It is illegal to interfere with spawning salmon, or remove them from the creek. Please stay out of the creek and enjoy this spectacle of nature from a reasonable distance.
If you see fish cut in half, that indicates that streamkeepers assessed them, and cut them to ensure we do not double-count carcasses.
All of the above are chum salmon
