A tour through the seasons of Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound marked by Nature’s events: winter marine birds; spring herring, anchovy, sea lions and plankton blooms; summer shoreline sea stars and perch; fall pink and chum salmon runs and humpback whales; winter coho runs
Overwintering scoters feed on rich mussel beds into the spring before leaving for summer nesting sites
Perch by the thousands feed in shallows during late spring to early fall, then head to deeper waters
Swimming one of my favorite shorelines, on the lookout for whatever happens my way
