Description
A wooden sail boat full of bird watchers sailed into the Connecticut River near Goose Island to watch the sunset "ballet" of tree swallows. The river begins to fill with boats in late afternoon, as everyone tries to find the best spot to watch the show. Each year in late August through early October, several hundred thousand tree swallows fly to Goose Island every day at dusk to roost in the safety of the tall reeds. Before descending into the reeds, these little bird swoop, spiral, and maneuver in formation. It's an amazing show.
