Witnessing the large coho salmon spawning in Brooklyn Creek this past November was a remarkable experience. The males, with their vivid red sides, put on a dramatic display of aggression and territoriality, a striking reminder of nature’s raw energy. The coho were also easily viewed the week before. The spawners were mostly between Balmoral Ave. and Cedar Ave., but reliable reports were coho seen in Salish Park as well as Birkdale Farm.
During breaks between the heavy Southeast storms, the creek’s waters cleared, offering an exceptional view of this amazing spectacle. The scene drew admiration from many, with several people expressing their appreciation for the dedicated efforts over the years to restore and protect the creek’s habitat. These efforts have undoubtedly ensured the continuation of such incredible natural events for all to enjoy.
