We’ve Got Coho Fry in Byrne Creek in Burnaby!

coho fry byrne creek burnaby bc

We’ve got fry! I spotted three or four fry at the upper end of the eroded area in the lower ravine, and one fry near the bottom of the stairs.

Unfortunately it was dark and the creek was a bit dirty, so it was hard to get a good photo, but look like coho. I couldn’t get a side angle in which to better see if they had the black/white edges on anal and dorsal fins.

And they still have egg sacs, which is cool to see.

Hoping for a sunny day to get out and try to get some better photos.

Russia Will Never be Loved Until it Learns to Love

Every time I see a smiley face on a social media post about Russian brutality in Ukraine I see an NKVD, KGB, FSB troll.

It doesn’t matter what generation of totalitarian cruelty — Russian Empire, USSR, or current dictatorship.

It is continuing and constant misinformation and deflection. A long history of propaganda.

We know you.

We also know the reasons you hate us so much.

We are respected and you are not. We are successful and you are not. We are loving and you are not.

You cannot change that with more brutality. . . .

Your leaders have kept trying more brutality for centuries. . . .

Hasn’t the time come to overthrow these madmen?
