Join the Connecticut Audubon Society for boat cruises to search for Bald Eagle, Osprey, and other bird species migrating and nesting along the Connecticut River. Bald Eagles can be found along the lower river valley. Osprey are abundant in this area and offer great views, especially as they tend to their nests. Staff are on board the vessel to share information about the Connecticut River, the birdlife, and natural history. The boat has an enclosed cabin, restrooms, and three decks for optimal viewing.

Tours are approximately three-and-a-half hours in length and depart from The Essex Steam Train in Essex. Train ride is included in the cost of the trip.

Appropriate for children eight years old and over. Enjoy the beauty of the Connecticut River in spring!
