Learn more about the Onrust here. This remarkable event promises to be a celebration of nature, birds and the beauty of the open water. On board Naturalist(s), will educate you on the Tree Swallow phenomenon and all the other wildlife we see. We will charter a cruise to a special spot on the Connecticut River where 100's of thousands of Tree Swallows gather. They gather at sunset and perform aerial ballets forming an amazing display of art, coordination and cooperation. On the return cruise home, there is time to chat with others and experience the river at twilight, blending into night. Whether you're an experienced bird watcher or someone looking to connect with nature on a deeper level, this event promises to be an enriching and inspiring experience. Come prepared with your binoculars, cameras and comfortable attire as we embark on an evening filled with wonder and natural beauty. Please RSVP by September 8th to secure your spot. Space is very limited so please RSVP ahead of time and let us know if you are not able to make it. Bagged meals will be served aboard the charter. The charter leaves at 6PM sharp, so passengers will need to get there prior to 6PM.We look forward to sharing this incredible journey with you aboard the Onrust!
