We visited the Old Mill and its adjacent herring run in Brewster. (I have some pics of the mill to post on another day.)This shot by Mar is great. She took it just as a sea gull was about to swallow a herring whole.
It's nifty how they know to swallow them head first so the fish's fins don't catch in their throats.
The water is still in a turmoil as several birds had fought for this one fish.
It was quite a glimpse into nature's circle of life that has gone on for eons as the herring make their spring run from the ocean to the ponds ... and the sea gulls feasting like kings.
