The Adams River sockeye run is known around the
world as a miracle of nature. Sockeye salmon that have lived for four
years in the Pacific Ocean make an epic 400km journey back to the
streams where they where born. Their bodies change colour from
silver-blue to bright red as they reach the spawning grounds. Many are
caught or die along the way, but astonishing numbers reach their
destination. How many are expected to make it back to the Adams River
in 2010? More then 2 million!
So make sure to check out the
"Salute to the Sockeye Festival" in Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park
near Chase, BC in October to view the incredible wildlife spectacle.
You may even spot a black bear having a salmon lunch! More videos at:
