John Hay
The run
Hardcover
(G. K. Hall March 15, 1980)
This beautiful chronicle of the annual migration of the alewives (members of the herring family) provides fascinating insights into animal behavior - and life itself. John Hay follows the alewives' journey for one entire spawning season. Faced with the spectacle of billions of fish responding to an ancient and mysterious drive, he begins asking questions: Why do alewives undertake the hazardous journey from salt to fresh water to spawn? How do the young who stay behind find their way to the ocean without direction? And, most amazing of all, how do the alewives find the same "parent stream" where they spawned? (from the dust jacket)
