Hi All
</div>
<div>
Yesterday a friend and I went to the Annapolis River for
</div>
<div>
some late season shad fishing. The number of fish in the river
</div>
<div>
is amazing. They have spawned and were returning to the sea
</div>
<div>
a steady stream of fish going by all along the river. One of Nova Scotias
</div>
<div>
marvels of nature!
</div>
<div>
There was clouds of shad alewins in the quite water along the banks.
</div>
<div>
Little fellows about 2 cms long and the size of a thread. In 2 to 3 months they
</div>
<div>
will be 10 - 12 cms long. Deep chunky little fellows, Another marvel of nature is
</div>
<div>
how the river can produce enough food to get them to the stage where
</div>
<div>
they can go to the ocean!
</div>
<div>
When we got to the river in one spot we disturbed an eagle who was fishing. It
</div>
<div>
flew by just a few feet away. An impressive bird at short range. Another
</div>
<div>
raptor circled over head. Just above the tree. Quite dark under the body and wings
</div>
<div>
and quite large. A good flyer.
</div>
<div>
Tiger Swallowtails were plentiful along the river as well as little blue butterflies.
</div>
<div>
The red maple seeds were falling like a snow squall in places. They sure produce enough
</div>
<div>
seed to reproduce the trees! If all the seeds grew we would have wall to wall maples.
</div>
<div>
A great day - enjoy the last of spring
</div>
<div>
