SUMMARY:CT Audubon EcoTravel: Tree Swallow Cruises - Aug 30; Sept 5; Sept 13; Sept 20\, 2026
DESCRIPTION: \nTree Swallow Cruises\n\nWitness one of the most spectacular avian events when thousands of Tree Swallows congregate on the lower Connecticut River at sunset to settle in on a giant communal roost during their fall migration. Birds come from miles away\, creating a ballet of synchronized flight before settling down for the night. Renowned ornithologist and artist Roger Tory Peterson wrote that “the tornadoes of Tree Swallows eclipsed any other avian spectacle I have ever seen.” Join Connecticut Audubon naturalists and journey from Essex\, by train and then by boat to see the awe–inspiring display. Enjoy picturesque scenery from the 70–foot Mississippi–style river boat’s three decks. Snacks\, a full bar\, and restrooms are available on board. If you take only one trip this fall\, make sure it’s this one! \nTours are approximately three and a half hours in length and vary in departure time from 3:30 – 5 pm\, depending on the date chosen (the later in the month\, the earlier the departure time). \nTours depart from the Essex Steam Train & River Boat in Essex. Appropriate for children eight years and over. \n\n\n\nAug 30; Sept 5; Sept 13; Sept 20\n4:30pm – 8:30pm OR 3:30pm – 8:00pm \nEssex\, CT \nLed By Matt Bell \nMembers:    $55\nNon-Members:    $55 \nFor more info and to register:\n(860) 767-0660\necotravel@ctaudubon.org \nRegister here:  Tree Swallow Cruises | Aug 30; Sept 5; Sept 13; Sept 204:30pm – 8:30pm OR 3:30pm – 8:00pm | The Connecticut Audubon Society \n\n
