As many might notice, the Bulkley River is one of my favorite places in and around Houston, British Columbia to be. No matter what part of the Bulkley river I visit, the beauty is breath taking.
So today, on October 30, 2015 my wife and I made another visit to the Bulkley river as the beavers are damming up the river in a couple of different spots, and I was hoping we might get some pictures of the fury little critter, but today we certainly heard the beaver splashing around up river, but never seem it.
Above Photo: Looking up into an old Cottonwood tree, if you look close, you will see a
Bald Eagle sitting in it.
What I did manage to get were some nice pictures of the Bulkley River, and I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do.
Below Source Information from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Bulkley River in British Columbia is a major tributary of the Skeena River. The Bulkley is 257 kilometres (160 miles) long with a drainage basin covering
12,400 square kilometres (4,800 sq miles).
Much of the Bulkey is paralleled by Highway 16. It flows west from Bulkley Lake past Perow and is joined near Houston by the Morice River, its major tributary.
Below Video Footage:
I took some video footage of the water flowing over the beaver dam and of some Eagles on the Bulkley River Houston, British Columbia. I took the footage on October 25, 2015. It is hard to see the Eagles, but there are 3 of them flying around the beaver dam, I believe there are salmon that may be trapped behind the dam.

The Bulkley continues north past Quick, Telkwa and Smithers. It then meets the
Skeena River near Hazelton.
Above Photo: As you can see in the picture, the beavers have chewed the bark off the large Cottonwood tree. Actually they fell the tree over the river.
