The capelin are rolling at Middle Cove beach!

This is the time of year, in Newfoundland, when the capelin roll in.  Middle Cove Beach is a big tourist attraction at any time, but it was especially busy this past weekend.

There is a great sign, located right at the entrance to Middle Cove Beach, explaining the capelin rolling phenomenon...

 There were quite a few people enjoying the excitement..........

 Hubby and I went over to try for a bucket of capelin...............

....but the capelin were not rolling right in on the beach while we were there.  They were just offshore, but we definitely were not dressed for getting out into the water. 

A few brave souls were actually standing out in that frigid salt water, trying their hand with different types of nets.  They were getting capelin, but it was a slow process.
 

The seagulls were feasting just offshore....
