Maurice River Bald Eagle Cruise 4-17-2011

"The final Bald Eagle Cruise produced the usual plethora of Ospreys and Eagles, along with some cool surprise visitors. Two American Kestrels hunted the fields at the Bertram Sister's farm, while a couple of Belted Kingfishers put in an appearance. The bird of the day would have to be the Caspian Tern that flew north over the river."
