Eagles and Owls February 6, 2011

Bald eagles are often seen along the Merrimack River in winter, attracted to the feeding opportunities in open water. We will travel along the river in Newburyport to search for and observe eagles in adult and juvenile plumage, and then visit Salisbury Beach State Reservation or the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island to look for owls. Possibilities include snowy, short-eared, and saw-whet owls. We may visit other locations if time permits. Van transportation is provided. - - Two trips are being offered. Sign up for one or both! - Sunday, January 9 (snow date: January 23) - Sunday, February 6 (snow date: February 13) Registration is required. Call 978-887-9264 for details.
