Pilgrimage to the Sea
November 4, 2018
Tiny river herring fry, born this summer seem to be late for their first pilgrimage to the sea. These are the offspring of river herring (You can see them schooling in front of the falls). Their parents made their way upstream in the early spring, and these guys are usually hatched and on their way to the beach by late summer. This shot is just before this small school succumbs to the current, which washed them all over the small falls.
These little fish will form immense schools in the coastal waters, providing food for all kinds of fish and birds.
