I have just come back from a trip out to Vancouver Island and other parts . My friends who observe tell me there were 3 youngsters again this year and all appeared to do well. Food was a plenty as the farmer has chickens and ducks around. and I imagine they ate
their share of salmon also.
here is a link from may this year. Most of ma and Pa but you can red some of comments to hear about youngsters. there are a few pages but I started here for you.
