January through March

The return of the American Bald Eagle to the Connecticut River is a sign of a healthy River. While lakes and rivers up north freeze over, tidal waters of the lower River keep the waters open during the cold winter, giving the eagles a good fishing ground. From January through March, the Museum hosts special programs, an exhibit, and eagle-watching boat trips.

For more information on our boat trips go to the Museum’s Winter Wildlife Cruises page.

This exhibit has been made possible through the generous support of The Robert F. Schumann Foundation.
