As we're having a school unit about fish [or Oceans, to be precise, but river salmon will do for our purposes] at the moment, we took a little field trip up to Strawberry Reservoir to see the Kokanee Salmon spawning. Spawning salmon are super interesting. Do you know they change color (from silver to bright red) and their whole heads change shape as they swim upstream to spawn? And did you know they don't eat ever again from the time they start their journey? They just swim home, lay their eggs, and die.
