Doug:
Is this Kodak Professional Ektachrome 100VS? Fuji?
Let us know?
Lovely color - I'm sure "as seen" through the viewfinder.

Lake Tahoe's land-locked Kokanee Salmon are tiny on the salmon scale,
about the size of a brook trout. Fall is their spawning season, and
the US Forest Service has built a trail next to Taylor Creek to view
the spectacle. I visited monday, arriving early in the day while frost
was still on the trail, and black bear footprints were visible in the
frost.

aside from bears and people, the salmon also draw numerous bird species
to feast on the fish. One of the most visible is the Common Merganser:

the Merganser's fishing technique varies but one of the most common is
to cruise along the surface, watching underwater for a good meal:

Once a fish is targeted the merganser becomes a highly-maneuverable
feathered torpedo following the fish's every zig and zag, surfacing
only for a gasp of air until the meal is caught.
