Description
We are offering adult only birdwatching tours during the 2025 Merrimack River Eagle Festival. Ride in a Mass Audubon van with up to five other adults and one of our expert birding guides. Each group tour, consisting of two vans (12 people - including leaders) will visit hotspots for viewing eagles and other raptors along the Merrimack River and surrounding area. The locations visited will be determined the day of the tour, and will be based on where Bald Eagles are being seen.
Limited to 20 participants per tour time - so register early, these will fill up fast!
