Now here’s a wildlife shot you don’t see every day! Stefanie Harron used an underwater housing to capture this image of spawning salmon swimming in a stream near Kootenay Lake, B.C. At the end of summer each year, thousands of salmon return to the streams of their birth to release their eggs. This amazing annual spectacle also attracts other iconic wildlife that feed on the fish, including grizzly bears, ospreys and eagles.

Photos of the Week for the month of September

Other photos we featured in the month of September included a bull moose striding through tall grass in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ont. (by Dennis Liu), a handsome coyote portrait snapped in Burnaby, B.C. by Angela Nagy, and a group of painted turtles sunning themselves in the Humber River in Toronto, by Dan Billard.

We choose a new photo every Monday to be our banner image on Facebook and Twitter, plus we share the picture on Instagram too!
