Cowichan River, Cowichan Valley, British Columbia
With fall fast approaching one of the highlights of this region are the salmon runs that occur in many of our rivers. In Goldstream Provincial Park and in many areas of the Cowichan River the salmon appear about mid-October and may be viewed for about ten weeks. These dates vary from year to year but I have never been disappointed during this peak period. It is the Chum salmon that is most abundant in this river, Coho and Chinook salmon may also be seen as well as the Steelhead and Cutthroat trout.
The best viewing area by far [...]
This week wasn’t all about Cowichan Valley water buffalo as I spent a considerable amount of time photographing birds and some of the local farm animals. The winter brings Trumpeter Swans by the hundreds to the valley. While driving around you see these beautiful birds in the fields and lakes of the area.
Alpacas are a popular farm animal in the area. This young fellow lives at a very picturesque farm on Koksilah Road south of Duncan.
