Great Blue Heron/Osprey Boat Tours 2020
Even though the cold, blustery, rainy weather of this past week would seemingly not make ideal avian migration conditions, the ospreys and great blue herons are returning in mass to their Lake Norman nesting sites. With this in mind, the Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists (The Mooresville Chapter of the NC Wildlife Federation) would like to invite you to tour the nesting sites with us on Saturday, April 11th. Thanks to Morningstar Marina we have enough pontoon boats to take a total of 22 people each Saturday and the sign-ups are first come-first served. The tours will leave out of Morningstar Marina in Cornelius at 18020 Kings Point Drive.
Each of the pontoon boats will have a professional biologist to answer your questions and explain the life history of the birds we will be observing. There is no charge for the 2-hour tour, but donations would be appreciated to help offset the cost of the boat fuel. The past several years this event sold out in record time so if you are interested in participating you will want to sign-up now, online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/loon-boat-tours-2020-tickets-90553336467 If you have any questions or comments please email Gene Vaughan at [email protected] |
