There have been feeding activities over the last few weeks which will soon vanish. After all, the season is changing with the result that ospreys are migrating and black bears are fattening up and will eventually hibernate.
Vanishing are the osprey parent and chicks. Many local osprey have already begun their southern migration. These parents are still feeding their chicks, but will soon depart. Parents will leave first, with juveniles following shortly afterwards.
A staple of the last few weeks has been a black bear eating fish in a creek. This will soon wane. Photo by Cynthia Fraser.
