Salmon Runs - Project 52 Week 48

With 2 record Salmon runs this Autumn, there are thousands of Salmon carcasses littering the waterways of the Squamish Valley. This of course brings Eagles, and we are seeing large numbers so far this season, hopefully this leads to a large count on January 5. Some of these fish were 2 feet in length, and as can be seen in the below image, had a mouth full of teeth!! The Bald Eagles continue to feed on the rotting carcasses weeks later.
