Salmon feast

ISnt nature amazing on what things do to live breed and die. COol pick

I bet that is quite amazing to see something like that. I am referring to the Salmon and not the vulture waiting for a chance at their meal. I have heard of such things as the way fish mate, but I've never personally seen anything like that.

It's sad that a Salmon has to die like that after all that hard work. Sounds like it will be a feeding fenzy for the seagulls and vultures..much like our black friday on the holidays..lol..

In lakes and rivers, nutrients are washed out to sea. It is intresting to know that when the young salmon are out to sea, they will come back to the fresh water bringing need nutrients back from the seas. So in reality they are recycling nurtients from salt waters back to fresh waters. It is unfornuate that the adult salmon have to die after spawning but that is nature for you.

Ah, yes salmon! Yum!! I live in Idaho and my favorite fish are salmon and rainbow trout. I have them anytime I can. We have a nature habitat at one of our parks here that shows the different types of fish and how they lay their egss and you can see it all happen right here. Cool for kids!

Up around here, there is a time of year where the salmons go up the rivers (or is it down?). Anyway, I guess it's after the eggs have grown into full blown fishes. The local government controls the amount of fishing that's done here, so there is just a specific time where people can go and fish. And some of these guys I know, and believe me, they can also be vultures!

Hmmm... salmon stuffed turkey vulture... Happy thanksgiving.

Isn't nature interesting? Nice shot by the way!

Yes this is the way of nature, nothing is wasted. The lives of salmon is amazing, they are hatched in the river and swim to the ocean then about 3 years later return to lay their eggs in the same river and if possible the same place they were hatched. (I am not sure about the 3 years)

Wow, that is quite a great picture that you've shared there. I definitely live in the wrong part of the country to see the spawning of salmon and actually there are very few natural events that are well known that I've ever had the opportunity to see. With that said, I can only begin to imagine what it would be like to see the salmon swimming upstream and doing their thing before their lives come to an end.

I always thought it would be cool to live in an area where there is actually a river that could support fish and various other animals and vegetation. Where I am you are lucky to even have a trickle of water in them. That is why I always love going to vacation in Red River, New Mexico. They have trout. but it is still nice to see them and have a flowing river. Guess that is what I get for living in Texas.

It should be amazing to see all this. I've read about salmon spawning. I've watched some films, but to see this with your own eyes... The vulture is a little bit scaring. But the nature is really awesome.

That is probably an amazing and a different view out of the ordinary to see. Like you said the voltures and seagulls must be extatic with the fact that they can feast freely during this season. I would actually like to see that for myself, it sounds interesting.
