Winter Wildlife Eagle Cruises departing from the Connecticut River Museum in Essex. Cruises are on the calendar and available for booking, now through March 17.
On the River: On our first cruise of the season, Friday 02-08, we had a great time! It felt so good to get out on our beautiful Connecticut River! Seasonal temperatures, a little bit of SUN, and eagles! We saw 14 Bald Eagles of all ages. Some were perched, some in flight with great views. We also saw a Northern Harrier, Red Tailed Hawk and Great Cormorants. Not too many ducks on the main trunk of the river, but, in the background we saw Common Mergansers and Goldeneye. All of us had a great time! Virtually no more ice on the river, the Coast Guard did a great job clearing it out. Still a little here and there to remind us it is still winter. Thus far this winter season, seen on the river: Common, Red Breasted and Hooded Mergansers, Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Ruddy Duck, Juvenile Red Throated Grebe, Northern Harrier, Red Tailed and Red Shouldered Hawks and many Bald Eagles.
Other stuff: VALENTINE’S DAY is Thursday, 02-14. A Gift Certificate for a nice, intimate Sunset Cruise or Winter Cruise or any other cruise is a great gift for your love. Note that this year we have added a winter cruise on Wednesdays at 2:00pm. Capt Mark is basically done spiffing up RiverQuest for the winter cruises, more to come when the weather gets warmer. Adventure is on the hard at Chester Point Marina. Cathy has most of the 2019 Special and Regular Cruises on the calendar, available for booking. We always like to offer new Special Cruises. If you have any ideas, please email us.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Here’s to a wonderful 2019!
