Bird Watching Cruise August 10, 2011

Sun, sea breeze and beautiful wildlife make a perfect combination and that's just what the Norwalk Seaport Association offers up in its bird-watching. Set to depart from the Seaport Dock adjacent to the Stroffolino Bridge at the corner of Washington and Water streets in South Norwalk, the 42-foot C. J. Toth Quest catamaran will take participants on a three-hour cruise. The cruise will most likely encompass a trip out the eastern channel and a visit to Goose Island, which is a breeding ground for various seagulls and cormorants. Other locations (depending on activity) include Cockenoe Island, Grassy and Chimon islands. The cruise welcomes all levels of bird watchers and binoculars will be made available for anyone who needs them. Cruises are limited to 49 people, so reservations are suggested.
