Details

This is a paid event. $150 per person, collected when you RSVP.

Space is limited with a total of 5, including me, plus the captain on the boat.

From the website:
"Ride aboard the Discovery Barge II, a 24-foot pontoon boat, as you travel into the midst of an ecosystem rich with wildlife, history, and beauty. Discover the James' Bald Eagle Tour, which takes you through a stretch of the James River known as Jefferson's Reach.

This tour focuses on resident bald eagles, who thrive in their territories year-round. This 'restored' resident eagle population is considered to be the greatest comeback of the bald eagle in the entire continent. Their conservation success story can be seen first hand, where 49 years ago, in 1975, there were no resident bald eagles within the 10,000 square miles of the James River's watershed. Four years after local extinction, in 1979, a first pair came back on their own and began this comeback. Today, over 380 pair of resident eagles call the James River home. Discover the James' Bald Eagle Tour shares a part of this amazing story while traveling through up to ten territories.

In addition to the resident eagles, two other populations of bald eagles migrate into the area. In early May, summer migratory bald eagles, from the south (mainly Florida), arrive and are gone by the end of September. In mid November, winter migratory eagles arrive from the north and stay into February, then return to New England and Eastern Canada to their breeding grounds.

Come experience majestic bald eagles closer than you may have ever seen them."
