While you are on the pipeline looking at the blue heron, walk a little
further up the pipe, and look to the right. You should see schools of
gizzard shad migrating upstream. They huge the shoreline and hide behind
the concrete RR piers to get out of the current. Last Saturday they were so
thick that their backs were sticking out of the water. Much further
upstream (where there is no railing), there is a bottleneck where the flow
drops about 1.5 feet. The shad are all fighting to make it up the miniature
water fall, it's really an amazing sight to watch them fight so hard against
the current. Some make it up, some don't.

April 1
Birders -- Your help would be greatly appreciated if you could
volunteer to help with our Friday, April 1 walk to see the Great Blue
Heron rookery with the CFL kids at 4:30 in the afternoon. Please let
me know if you think you could do this.
