Join the Adventure East team for a once in a lifetime experience to see the migration patterns of the tree swallow murmuration! Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Tree Swallows begin to amass in the sky at sunset over Goose Island in the Connecticut River in Old Lyme, CT. At dusk these birds gather in the sky and perform a synchronized dance the beauty of which will linger in your soul. Kayaking is the best way to experience this unforgettable adventure.
