Suckers are most vulnerable

...when they're running upstream. On our way home from Winnipeg we saw people netting suckers at Mistik Creek. Yesterday we went back to watch the suckers run and do some thinking.

Here's H shooting some video.



Here's a couple suckers trying to make their way.



Here's H standing among the remains of suckers that someone had left behind.


Ravens and gulls hung around in the trees, waiting for us to leave so they could return to feast on the mess.

When we got home H showed me the video of the suckers running. It's beautiful. I hope to write a sonnet to go with it.
