Deep winter is the best time to find bald eagles locally, and the lower Merrimack River is the best place to find them. The swift currents and tidal flow in the Merrimack River keep portions of the river ice-free during the winter, providing critical feeding habitat for ducks and other wintering birds. Local bald eagles may nest elsewhere in New England during the summer when food is plentiful, but in the winter when most lakes and rivers are frozen, they know they can come to the Merrimack River to find the ducks, fish, and carrion they need to survive.
During this three-hour program, we will search the lower Merrimack for bald eagles and other wintering birds at a number of sites, including Deer, Eagle, Carr, and Ram islands and several other places along the river.
