They're Here!

The fish have finally arrived!  If you haven't been down to the run, go soon! The past 3 days have been great, but now the cool weather has returned, so it's slowed down a bit. I think these are the Alewives moving through, and the Bluebacks will be here soon!

So, look at the schedule and see if you can fill any of the open slots. Look at the weather and pick a nice sunny & warm day!

And here are some pictures of the neighbors!

Thanks to Betsey Godley for these pictures!

Here is a video of the fish jumping!

Thanks to Jessica Kozik for the video!

They ARE here, believe it or not!

We have had a few days where there have been no fish sighted at the run, but they are around!  One of our counters, Ruth, took this video of one crossing over!!  And, if you go up to the flume at Middle Pond, they are pooling there. So, patience pays!  We just need a few days of warm, sunny weather and they will be flying through!!

It's Spring, right?

So, we had a great start, almost 100 fish counted in 2 days!  And then, winter came back. But, we will not give up.  The fish are still around. It's just been a little too chilly for them to move upstream.

Thank you to everyone who has braved this chilly, rainy, blustery weather!

And just to brighten up your day, I had these guys at my feeders this week. At least you could go inside to warm up!!

So, we will continue with the count. Even zero counts matter!! It is warming up every day.
