Weymouth Herring Run MA

Each year as many as 250,000 river herring come back to Whitmans Pond to mate and lay eggs. Nature amazes me.......these fish travel all the way up from the Carolina Coast, and it's a literal uphill battle as they make their way upstream against the current to reach their final destination.

Here is a resting pool along the run, where I saw thousands of fish the other day.

There is always a large presence of Black Crowned Night Herons along the run, just waiting for a feast.

The Cormorants are also in the area to feed on the Herring.

It was a lovely Spring afternoon for my visit, and will be returning again soon.
