Dave Lord reports:
"The last weekend of the Bald Eagle Cruises on the Maurice River aboard the Osprey went out with a bang. The final trip proved very interesting, with a higher diversity of waterfowl than when we started, and 11 Bald Eagles, all adults playing with the breeze on that rather windy day. 8 + Ruddy Ducks were seen post trip on Sunday, and Opsrey numbers still continue to impress, even until the bitter end."
