Winter Wildlife on Prudence Island

Two Dates Offered

Winter is a wonderful time to see harbor seals and many species of beautiful ducks just off the shoreline of Prudence Island. We'll spend part of the day viewing the harbor seals and learning about their biology and migration habits, and make several stops around the island to search for waterfowl including eiders, mergansers, goldeneyes and buffleheads. This winter adventure is a fun way to explore Prudence Island! Due to limited space, registration is required.
