Volunteers Finding Lots of Chum Salmon in Byrne Creek in Burnaby, BC

Got out to take some photos and videos of the Chum salmon that volunteers have been spotting in the lower ravine area of Byrne Creek.

In this video there are at least two females digging redds (nests in the gravel/cobble) and several males hoping to add their milt to the process after the females release their eggs. . .

The females flip sideways and use their tails to scoop a depression to deposit their eggs into.
