Connecticut Audubon Society will again sponsor numerous boats to search for the many bird species wintering along the CT River. Bald Eagles are found along the lower river, where this area serves as an important feeding ground and nest site for this large bird of prey. Aboard the vessel will be naturalists to assist in identification and to talk about the local history and natural history. Boats have a large heated cabin, restroom, and open decks. Cruises are approximately two hours in length from Haddam or Essex. Fee and Gift Certificates are $40.
