@@adamwest8711 I love Richard Dreyfuss!! I'll take that comparison any day of the week!!!

@@adamwest8711 Yeah, there is a tragic magnificence to them! Just amazing!

@@adamwest8711 Wow! Thank you so much for such a nice comment!!! I really appreciate it, and welcome!!!

@@BAMTHOW That is pretty surprising! Every source I have found says that, while they can be detoxified somewhat, they are poisonous. Eating this species is certainly not something I would generally recommend.

@@martinrhoads6168 You are most welcome! Thanks for checking out my channel!

@@Wavydavy559 Thanks very much!

@BackyardBiologyBoys it is really impressive to see! I was hoping this group would do it, but they didn't seem like feeding while I was there. Oh well.

@@lawrencemaxwell6536 Thanks!

@@birthearthstory Yup! To save the newts!!!! Pretty cool, right?

@@chefboyarleezy4162 This is just a few hundred yards downstream of the Nimbus Fish Hatchery on the American River.

@mckat7368 Cool! I have heard of the book, but have not read it. Enjoy your reading!!!

@@annburris8198 Terrific!!! I will definitely try to read it! Thanks for sharing!

@SammyVision_24 Thanks for the enthusiasm!

@@reedjacksonmaccom Absolutely my pleasure! Thanks for checking out my channel and for letting me know what you thought!

@fdizlois Thanks for sharing your perspective. I didn't know Eucalyptus were a problem in Spain! It seems like no matter the reason for planting them (timber, pulp, windbreak) they always increase the fire danger by quite a bit!

I love watching them swim up stream

@@SammyVision_24 Thanks! They really are such impressive animals!!!

@@SammyVision_24 Me too!

@Epic123motion That sounds so incredible! I have been to Alaska once, but it was not during salmon migration season. I would really like to see that someday!

@mikebartoli4755 Salmon do generally return to the same river that they were hatched in, though there is more exploration and experimentation than people used to think. What I was talking about was that fall-run Chinook (for example) return to many of the rivers that meet in the California Delta as opposed to the winter-run that are only found in the Sacramento River.

@@ABirdingNaturalist okay, thank you for the reply Aaron.. I grew up around the Delta and the coast nearby and have fished for salmon my whole life. I love your channel because I'm also a huge bird guy and do rescues work with Corvids... mainly crows and ravens. Hopefully recreational salmon will open this year, I miss it so much! Keep up the good work!!

@mikebartoli4755 Cool meeting someone else who loves the Delta and birds!!! And thanks for your feedback on my channel. I really appreciate it.

@@ABirdingNaturalist You bet, I just subscribed. Do you ever do any ocean fishing or have an interest to? Please Pm me if so. I live in Colfax now but I have a boat in Sausalito.

@mikebartoli4755 Wow! That is a really nice offer! In some ways, I would love to do some videos on the biology of ocean fish. Unfortunately, I tend to get a bit seasick on the ocean. The bay is usually just fine for me.

@@MrFatcat1957 Thanks for checking out my channel! In the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, we still have those runs and species (but no Coho), just much lower numbers, unfortunately.

@@HangNFish Yrah, those two different species travel up the river at overlapping times of year! Pretty fun!

@sean4236 Yes, it is! The American River just downstream of the Nimbus Fish Hatchery. Cool that you were there!!!

@@mikemcavoy7097 Wow! Talk about epic!!!

@@mikemcavoy7097 Exactly the spot! A Steelhead video sounds like a good idea to me! I'm not sure if I can fit it in this year, but next fall, for sure!

@@ABirdingNaturalistcan you share exact location, my kids would love to see it

@mikemcavoy7097 Sure thing! The Nimbus Fish Hatchery is at 2001 Nimbus Rd, Gold River, CA 95670. It is a great spot to see the salmon both in the hatchery, itself and in the river just beside it. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you find!

@vinivv What great memories! Thanks for sharing! It's interesting to hear about the various different hatcheries all doing similar work to keep salmon populations viable.

i was fishing in the Snelling area in October 2023. There were lots of returning fish at the hatchery and near the kayak launch. I even saw some salmon spawning near the Snelling Road bridge. I wonder why the Stanislaus and Tuolumne rivers don't have salmon hatcheries?

@clydecrashcup9202 Cool that you got to see spawning!!! Maybe the runs in the Stanislaus and Tuolumne are smaller and so not as high a priority to build hatcheries on? I'm really not sure, but it's a good question.

@@ABirdingNaturalist Another possibility is that the Stan and Tuolumne may have more available spawning grounds, both natural and restored. I have seen loads of salmon schooling on the Stan below the Knights Ferry bridge. I'm not as familiar with the upper reaches (below Don Pedro) of the Tuolumne.

@clydecrashcup9202 The condition of the rivers is a great point. I'm sure you are right, and that does play a part!

@@kirkstewart-vf6hg Interesting. I have not heard that any Chinook survive after spawning. Is there somewhere I could read about this?

Yes look up Robert Denison Hume salmon king of the pacific north west.. Or RD Hume salmon king of the Rouge river. He had cannery's on the Rouge klamath and smith rivers but mainly the Rouge. Quite the monopolist he was one of the first in oregon to spawn salmon . I would have to dig my books out that I have on him and can do so later to tell you exactly the names of books.

@kirkstewart-vf6hg Cool! I'll definitely look him up. Thanks for the info!

@@kirkstewart-vf6hg It is so great to hear that you are seeing good salmon numbers! I hope that keeps up!!!

@@ronr.9203 This video was taken on the banks of the Lower American River near the Nimbus Fish Hatchery near Sacramento, California.

@916outdoors2 The four runs that move through the Delta that I discuss in this video do spawn at different times of year. According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Fall-run spawn Oct-Dec, Late-fall-run spawn Jan-Apr, Winter-run spawn Apr-Aug, and Spring-run spawn Aug-Oct. So some of those ranges do overlap, but they are definitely spread across many seasons.

@marknunez2351 Great questions!!! California Condors can live to be around 60 years old (but they probably average more like 35 years), they generally start reproducing when they are around 5 years old, and they only lay one egg at a time (and often skip years, so they may only lay one egg every two years). All put together, that means their population grows quite slowly.

@DanLittleton-s4m Good clarification on that it is Atlantic Salmon that can spawn more than once. Thanks for adding that.

No mention of the detrimental effects of water export especially for agriculture. The decline of salmon populations tracks correspondingly with the amount of water reverted primarily for agriculture. And extended drought negativelu impacts salmon runs, etc .

@rongarcia936 Absolutely! Water diversions are a huge problem! Good point.

@@marknunez2351 Hi! Your point about thoroughly rinsing off any soap residue is a very good one! Thanks for mentioning it. And thanks for supporting my channel! I'm glad you found me here.

@@lets.gobirding I want someone who is a good poet to write about the migration, mating, and death of salmon. I would absolutely read that poetry!!!!

@evelinamcdowall2936 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Do you get to see the salmon in the Stanislaus very often? How are their numbers doing?

@Mitttor Protection of the Spotted Owl did put a damper on some of the logging industry (though there is certainly quite a bit of logging that still occurs, so saying they "shutdown logging" is an exaggeration). And many communities have embraced restoration as an economic driver that creates jobs in road decommissioning, habitat restoration, and many other areas.

@melissab8500 absolutely! Thanks for checking out my video!

@@pep2001bg Isn't it cute?!?!?

@josephjorgensen3282 Good point! The way this is done is with recordings. Barred Owl called are played in the forest where a Barred Owl was heard previously. Barred Owls are territorial, so they will come in towards the speaker. Spotted Owls don't respond to Barred Owl calls.

@@ABirdingNaturalist what about the cross breeds won’t that be killing off genes we may have left?

@josephjorgensen3282 interesting thought! From a genetics perspective, those hybrids are not going to help the Spotted Owl population. The genes that are specific to Barred Owls may be disadvantages when combined with genes of Spotted Owls, and may make those hybrid individuals less well suited to the Spotted Owl niche in the environment.

@@ABirdingNaturalist thank you it’s cool to get to discuss this and learn perspective that I didn’t think of

@josephjorgensen3282 Absolutely my pleasure! Thanks for checking out my channel and for bringing up such great topics!

@davevanemburg3056 so you don't think we have any responsibility for fixing the things we break?

@@ABirdingNaturalist yes. Trump has responsibilities to fix what biden broke.

@@rodneyharris3265 What makes you think it is not an Eastern Fox Squirrel? What species do you think it is?

@ABirdingNaturalist well my first guess was that it's a grey squirrel. I'm in Alabama and ours are huge with a black face and mostly red body. In south Alabama they are silver with a black face. I could very well be wrong about the one you showed....

@rodneyharris3265 in California, we have Western Gray Squirrels, but they look very different from this animal. The Eastern Fox Squirrels we have most commonly in California look just like this one.

@@foreversnottoolong it is a weird thing they do!! Cool that you have seen it first hand!

@kevincalerolazo5448 yeah, kind of too good. How well these trees burn is sort of the problem.

@@SammyVision_24 I appreciate the enthusiasm!!!

@@j.m.b.greengardens968 Cool reference! Thanks for sharing!

@@LaurenBradburyFarm Eucalyptus do indeed suppress the growth of other plants, but it seems that once the Eucalyptus are removed, other species can begin to grow fairly quickly.

@@WickedToxic They are cute! And the iridescence of their feathers gets really complex!

@@lulul0l039 Ph, you bet I will keep producing videos and making accurate science available for all!
