February 7, 2010: Today was beautiful! A little chilly, but, the wind was lighter and there was "abundant" sunshine. Captain Mark has RiverQuest ready to go. First Eagle Cruise is on February 13th, leaving from Eagle Landing State Park Haddam and the forecast is for nice weather. Our experienced naturalists and crew will be onboard for another great year. Can’t wait! Hope to see you aboard.

This year I will try to keep up and put a picture of each Bird/creature that we've seen either on a cruise or from our  home, the vessel Adventure, (docked at Essex Island Marina) in our Picture Gallery (click on the Great Blue Heron). Thus far this winter (up to January 04) I've seen: common merganser, peregrine falcon, red tailed hawk, red shouldered hawk, cooper hawk, great cormorant, rough legged hawk, herring gull, great black backed gull, ring billed gull, northern harrier,  mallard duck, mute swan, ruddy duck, long tailed duck (oldsquaw), lesser scaup, canada geese. I'll try to finish gallery this week!

 

Check out this YouTube video of an immature eagle attacking two young eaglets in a nest in California. We are quite certain that this is what happened to our "Lyme" eaglets in 2007!
