Come on up to the mouth of the CT River in the towns of Essex, Chester, Deep River, East Haddam, Old Saybrook, and Old Lyme, CT., where the River Meets the Long Island Sound, and observe Eagles like you have never seen before.

Every year, nearly 100 American Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles converge along the 10 -15 mile stretch of the connecticut River where it empties into the Long Island Sound. Dozens of Eagle Spotters will be positioned at stations along the CT River, with very powerful spotting scopes. Visit any of these locations, to spot and observe one or more wild Eagles. Who knows, you might even see a floating piece of ice in the river, with several eagles on it, looking for fish around the edges. Of course, the Eagles are always here every day of the year, but the resident Eagles are less than 15. It is during the coldest 3 winter months, that as many as 100 additional Eagles migrate here from all over New England and Canada. This particular weekend is really well organized to invite over 5,000 people to the area to really enjoy one of nature's rarest seen birds of prey, and National Symbol.

Contact the Town of Chester, Park & Recreation Department to sign up. Classes resume April 15th
