Upper Peninsula Photonaturalist No. 2 - spawning and sparring

Creeks are always interesting places to explore nature, and they are especially good places to observe wildlife when fish are spawning. In late fall, brook trout, brown trout, and various salmon species are the ones to watch for in creeks that connect to the Great Lakes. In early spring, steelhead (rainbow trout) and suckers run up the rivers and creeks to perform their reproductive rituals.

UP Photonaturalist is produced Chris Burnett, a former member of UPLC's board and staff and long-time photographic artist at the Zero Degrees Gallery in Marquette.
