Fish-Trapping Streamkeepers Find Herons
Members of the Byrne Creek Streamkeepers set traps in the creek today hoping to catch some fish to see what species are resident. We do this every year under the auspices of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to gather data. (Note that trapping is illegal unless sanctioned by DFO). We weren't the only ones out looking for fish! We spotted herons several times -- likely repeat viewings of two birds.
This one was fishing the big pool where the stairs come down into the ravine from Brynlor.
This one was further up the ravine.
