Eagle Watch on the Connecticut River
Winter’s cold brings dozens of Bald Eagles down the Connecticut River from Canada in search of ice – free fishing. Last year, over 50 eagles wintered on the lower Connecticut. Their 6-8 foot wingspan makes the Bald Eagle the largest predator in North America. The comeback of the Bald Eagle is an ecological success story.
Beginning Saturday February 10, 2024. The Audubon Shop in Madison will present its 35th Annual Eagle Watch on the Connecticut River. Leader Jerry Connolly of The Audubon Shop will help participants spot eagles from a variety of locations on this land-based trip along the shore of the river and will discuss the bird’s natural history. A variety of wintering birds will be seen.
Dates: (Saturdays) Feb 10 and 17
$30.00 ticket includes a soup & sandwich lunch at Otter Cove Restaurant in Old Saybrook.
Pre-registration and payment is required. 203.245.9056
Binoculars are recommended and available to rent.
