Birds, Beans and Burgundy Events

Meet at the parking lot of Ryder's Landing.

We'll walk to the Sikorsky Bridge and try to catch a glimpse of any bald eagles in the area. Then, we'll board a bus to travel up the Housatonic River stopping at Lake Zoar to view eagles on the wing over the dam. From Lake Zoar we'll continue on to Southbury looking for eagles along the way and observing eagles hunting at the Shepaug Dam.

We'll be able to locate and observe many other wintering water birds and songbirds on our to and from the eagle observation area at Shepaug.

After our visit to the Shepaug Dam, we'll all need some warming so we'll travel to a local Vineyard after which we'll reboard our van for a return to Stratford. 

Fee is $10 food and drink not included.  Registration is January 10-February 4.  Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
