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 wing span make the Bald Eagle the largest predator in North America.
Beginning Saturday January 28, 2012. The Audubon Shop in Madison will
present its Twenty-fifth Annual Eagle Watches 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.
Jerry will bring a telescope for great viewing opportunities. Participants should bring binoculars, and are welcome to bring a camera and/or a telescope.
