Seals and Sea Ducks on Prudence Island
Explore beautiful Prudence Island! Begin by viewing the winter population of harbor seals that enjoy basking on the rocks off the southern tip of the island. After lunch, we will travel in a passenger van making several stops along the way to look for a variety of duck species in protected ponds and coves. We expect to see grebes, eiders, mergansers and more.
What to Bring: lunch/drinks for the day; camera/binoculars (we'll have extra binoculars to share); warm clothing and comfortable footwear. Registration is required due to limited van space.
