Eagle Festival

The annual Connecticut Audubon Society Eagle Festival will be happening on February 18-19 in Essex, CT. I've gone to the festival a couple of times and its always a lot of fun. The main draw is the great opportunity to view American Bald Eagles on the Connecticut River but there are many other things to do. You can tour the river by boat. There is a daylong forum where speakers present different wildlife topics. Wildlife carvers from around the area present their art and the local businesses really get involved with the event. When the event date gets closer I'll post another reminder since you won't want to miss this.
