Went to see the sockeye salmon run at Adams River. It's a dominant year, which happens every 4th year. There were many thousands of bright pink sockeye with green faces and tails thrashing about and laying roe and smelt, as well as some large dead salmon which had lost their pink colour. The birds were enjoying the culinary delights and the area smelt like a fish market. The interpreter said that the peak run is behind schedule. I guess the salmon didn't get the memo.......
It was a lovely drive, over 300 Km round trip. There were hundreds of people and the park was set up with food and art vendors. I had a delicious bison burger on a bannock bun, as it seemed a bit cruel to eat a salmon burger.
