there's only one reason these birds are loitering and squawking at stony brook in brewster... the herring are running! this is one of the major herring runs on cape cod, and there were hundreds of gulls that had been waiting for days... the noise was deafening (and the guano was pretty thick too)... on a serious note, the taking of herring for food or bait has been banned for the last three years because the fish population has drastically declined, and it's still unknown what is causing the decline...
