Did any one happen to notice all the bird action along the Southie to Dorchester waterfront the evening after the parade? Let me preface the rest of this by saying I haven't had a drink in a year and a half. I parked down by the SBYC and left the area heading home towards Dorchester at around 6:00-6:30. Traffic was very slow and the entire time the whole water front, from SBYC all the way behind L St. Bathhouse, Columbia Pt/JFK/UMass to the Gas Tank, was swarmed with birds diving and feeding. I don't mean little patches of birds, I mean the whole place, from close to shore to 300-500 yards out. My wife and two daughters, who wouldn't have noticed if my head was on fire, were with me and even they saw what was going on and were surprised to see it. They have seen striper/blue blitzes with me plenty and know that I'm always watching the water and birds. I didn't see fish coming out of the water, like blues/stripers, but the birds were definitely feeding on something. Any one have any ideas? Some one here must know what was going on?
