In 2008 I lost my job. I then bought an RV and went on a three year road trip that took me to all of the lower 48 states, to 5 provinces in Canada, and I spent 3 months in the winter in Mexico. I then returned home for my 50th birthday in June 2011. This blog is a record of this amazing road adventure and I hope you enjoy every mile of my trip.

If I recall, they're "Alewife" and they do this every year after they make little Alewives. They don't necessarily die on the beach but get washed up by the overnight tide. Most of the beaches on this side of Lake MI have a couple weeks every year when they're closed down because there's so many of them scattered around.
whats with all the dead fish?
ReplyDeleteI don't know but they were tons of them everywhere. They're so tiny. Do you know what they are? Why do they go die on the sand?

ReplyDeleteI wonder if they are smelts or maybe sardines? I don't know why they are all over the beach.
ReplyDeleteReally? That sounds so awful, but I'm sure Mother Nature knows what she's doing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info because it really made me wonder to see all those tiny fish dead everywhere.
Jo, when I first saw them I kept wondering if they were sardines. Now we know they're Alewives. You learn something new every day :-)
