Salmon Migration Season 2025 三文鱼洄游季

Each fall, large numbers of salmon swim upstream through the Fraser River and its tributaries, creating a spectacular natural event. For Indigenous peoples of the Vancouver region, the salmon run has long been a vital food source and a foundation of rich fishing traditions. As the salmon spawn and die, gulls and other wildlife gather along the riverbanks to feed on the carcasses, highlighting the raw and essential cycle of the ecosystem.

每年秋季,成群的三文鱼沿菲沙河及其支流逆流而上,形成壮观的洄游景象。对于温哥华地区的原住民,这不仅是重要的食物来源,也孕育了深厚的捕鱼文化与传统。随着三文鱼产卵和死亡,河岸常可见海鸥和其他野生动物聚集,争食鱼的尸体,展现出独特而原始的生态循环。

Birds in Vancouver(Barn Owl)-Vol.20 温哥华鸟类 (仓鸮)

The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is a medium-to-large owl with one of the widest global distributions, easily recognized by its heart-shaped facial disc and pale plumage. In North America, it inhabits farmlands, wetlands, and woodland edges, including protected areas such as Terra Nova in Metro Vancouver. Feeding mainly on small mammals, it relies on exceptional hearing to hunt in complete darkness. With its silent flight and nocturnal habits, the Barn Owl plays a vital role as a predator in the ecosystem.
