Feeding Fry in Byrne Creek
There were loads of fry throughout Byrne Creek again this morning. There were hundreds between Meadow and Byrne bridges.
We spent ten minutes watching a group of coho fry that are hanging just downstream of the footbridge at the bottom end of the ravine near a midsize cedar tree. The have been quite unafraid the last few times we've observed them. You can watch them rising to the surface to snap up stuff floating downstream. Very cute!
They let us squat within a few feet of them while they focused on stuffing themselves.
They blend in with their surroundings, however if you look closely there are three in this photo.
