The Wonder and the Wow: Bald Eagles on the Merrimack

Saturday, February 6, 2027 · 9:30 AM

Joppa Flats Education Center — 1 Plum Island Tpke, Newburyport, MA

Winter is the best time to see Bald Eagles and we'll take you to the bests spots to see them! Using scopes and binoculars, get a chance to watch and photograph eagles feeding along the Merrimack River in Newburyport and Amesbury. Learn the story of a bird that went from nearly extinct to flourishing along this river. Year-by-year plumage charts and a mock eagle nest make the identification puzzle easier, and you can compare your own eyesight to an eagle's or test your own fishing skills with talon-tongs to see how you would fare as a fledgling. This program meets at Joppa Flats Education Center. Expect to travel to several viewing spots along the Merrimack River, with short excursions outside and time in between to warm up your own vehicle. More details on meeting location, what to bring, and what to expect will be emailed to you ahead of the program.
