The Maurice River is a well known wintering and nesting area for bald eagles. Trips will explore the upper part of the river between Millville and Mauricetown. The Maurice River is designated as Wild & Scenic by the National Park Service. It hosts one of New Jersey's largest stands of wild rice which attracts waterfowl. Participants will search for eagles (which we will view discreetly and from a distance) and other raptors, wintering waterfowl, and welcome the return of nesting ospreys. Also enjoy the natural beauty of this part of the river, largely inaccessible by land.

Osprey will be back and tending nests, and many other migrants are likely. Meet CMBO naturalists at the Cape May Ferry terminal landing for a half hour of birding prior to sailing. We'll board the 1 PM ferry to Delaware and return on the 2:45 PM. Finish by birding at the jetty near the dock if time permits. PHOTO I.D. WILL BE REQUIRED.
