Fall is coming!
Summer is dwindling and fall is rapidly approaching here at the river. Migratory birds are arriving and leaving, the light is changing, and the activity feels different. We are in the water less often, and on land more. We found a toad who was getting ready to hibernate, and helped it find another home, away from where children dig in the sand. The Sandhill Cranes, a species of migratory bird that always marks the changing of the seasons, are frequently seen flying over. Some trees are starting to lose their leaves, and as I am writing this, a salmon is fighting its way up the rapids to find the spawning ground where it was born. I think the things that excite me most about fall at the river are the animals that follow the salmon, such as bald eagles and sea lions. What is your favorite part of fall?
