Either a chum or pink salmon
Littered banks of the river
A windfall for the birds
Searching for eagles
An easy meal
Perfect spot for the bears too
Bet they smell the salmon from miles away
Harlequin ducks also among the flock
These trees held many eagles last July
Today there were none
Dense foliage shoreside
Fins of the salmon can be seen
Under growth in the forest
The park is on both sides of the river
Well-marked trails
A common sight this time of year
Tall trees
This one recently fell
Dark and wet in the forest
