The Alewives - Food to whales, seabirds, and salmon. Bait to lobsterman and fisherman. Hard to believe that their numbers became so low that they were nearly deemed endangered. Now still considered a species "of concern." They spawn in the rivers and migrate back to the ocean. Many wind up on the beach. The birds seem more interested in those in the water of which there were many. There was no smell and the tide seemed to bring and wash away fresh multitudes. See also: Cape Cod Spawning

Paul, although their numbers have been reduced considerably, it appears that there are still a lot of swimming in the sea. An indication of this is that the seagulls leave the alewives washed up on the beach alone because of their hunting instinct that tells them that live fish is preferable to dead fish.

Good impression, however, of what is going on on the beaches of Cape Cod and the surrounding area.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
