Cape Cod: Herring Run

In early April, there are a few weeks where the herring swim upstream in the river to spawn.  During this period, you can go to Herring Run at Stony Brook in Brewster, MA and see the water completely saturated with herring, and you can watch them try to jump upstream.  Its quite the spectacle to go and watch.

The first photo is a message to all the people who have come to watch the herring.  In the next two photos, you can see that the seagulls clearly did not adhere to the rules and use the herring, unfortunately, as their dinner until an old woman comes along swinging her cane to scare away the seagulls.
