Cedar River, Ravensdale, WA 10/24/10

These Salmon became quite curious about my attempts to get closer and closer to them, I had to wipe the lens clean a couple of times as a result of all the splashing. The bridge in the background is WA-169 near Ravensdale.

Underneath Seattle Freeways.

Washington State Fish and Wildlife Officers from the Cedar River Hatchery release a Female Chinook Salmon. This Weir, which is situated underneath the 405 freeway near Downtown Renton, traps a small percentage of the migrating Salmon on their way to spawning grounds further up the river. The trapped salmon are taken to the hatchery where eggs and semen are harvested.
