Connecticut Audubon Society sponsors its annual Eagle Festival weekend the 19th + 20th of February | Held in the ower Connecticut River Valley from East Haddam to Essex, the Festival brings together several river's 
edge communities to celebrate the roosting of the American Bald Eagle |
Many of the activities [lectures, boat tours, museum + art exhibits] take place in Essex, but other activities, including a Chowder Cook-Off ["...join us for lunch and help select the "People's Choice" winner"], take place in my own home town of East Haddam |
New this year is an ecoforum lecture to be held 7:30 p.m. / 19th February at the Ivorytown Playhouse, with Dr. Edward O. Wilson discussing The Future of Life |
Report your eagle sightings | While it's nice to take part in watching the eagles soar above the waters, don't forget that eagles are solitary creatures, so don't try getting too close | That caution in mind, come join the festivities |
