The Floundering Fish Hudson River Shad

Sometime in April, when the little white clusters of Dutchman's breeches and the shadbush are in bloom, schools of shad enter the Hudson from the Atlantic Ocean and swim upriver to spawn. From mid-May to the end of June, shad mate, a dance that usually begins at dusk in shallow water.
