Maurice River Eagle Cruise - Saturday, March 20 2010

Dave Lord reports:

"The first annual Bald Eagle cruise on the Maurice River aboard the Osprey produced a varied assortment of natural wonders. Five Bald Eagles were seen on the trip, as well as eight Ospreys, with many on nests. Great Blue Herons and Green Winged Teal put in an appearance, as did a Red-Tail Hawk that was patrolling an abandoned dike farm for lunch. - Dave Lord with Captain Dave Githens."
