I went to the Maurice river NJ roost last night. The weather was perfect for a cruise down the river, Lots of ospreys to see and beautiful views of the river, and the martins put on a very nice show.At first there were only a few martins then suddenly the sky was filled with martins. There was even a group of Amish people from PA. on the boat. As always Alan Jackson did an excellent narration.

Is there a schedule for the roost visit boat tour? I thought I saw something last year about it.
