Photo: Bluefish circle near courthouse

Journal photo / Andrew Dickerman
A school of bluefish was spotted in the Providence River outside Rhode Island Superior Courthouse this afternoon. The sight was unusual not only because the fish were in the river at all, but because they are most often spotted feeding and are usually associated with frothy water as the baitfish on which they feed jump to escape and the bluefish jump after them. But the water outside the courthouse was unusually calm, with the bluefish simply circling.
