>> Today while birding in the Snoqualmie Valley we came across quite a few Pink Salmon (aka Humpback Salmon or Humpies) in the Snoqualmie River northwest of Carnation. Here is a video.

>> For me it works best to give the video a little time to load before starting it.

>> If you wish to see the salmon, park on the side of the road near Camp Gilead (King County, WA). Carefully cross the road (cars can be going 50 mph) and enter Chinook Bend Natural Area by the big blue sign not far from the bridge. Walk along the river and shortly you should see salmon activity near you along the shore. At least that is where they were today. By the way, this location has been a good place to see Bank Swallows the past two years in June and July.
