We've even still had some double digit hourly counts today! We have not yet dropped to a single digit day since the run really started in earnest on Day 22. We've had a week and a half of double digit counts, and every sunny day is a significant count. It looked like it might drop off on Saturday, but with today's beautiful weather they continue to run.
The previous longest count was 37 days in 2008. We did stop counting for 10 days in the middle of this, but 47 calendar days and still the fish keep coming? If the fish we observed in March were scouts only, and not the true start of the run, we've had a run of 25 days since we started seeing the fish again. The latest that the run stopped in the last six years of tracking was May 18th (in 2007). The 2008 run lasted until May 17th.
One counter today reported an osprey dropped down about 8 ft away from him to dive for a fish - he jumped a mile, but the osprey got his dinner!
