Education and Inspiration through the ancient art of storytelling!
The Spirit of Peoria Riverboat and Fox Tales are hosting a special themed cruise: Birding on the River (September 13-14, 2010) Just as the fall migration gets into high gear, join John James Audubon for a traditional riverboat cruise on the Illinois River. Brian “Fox” Ellis, nationally acclaimed Audubon impersonator will give two unique performances, “The Birds of Illinois” and “Following the Fall Migration.” There will be plenty of time on deck to see the Bald Eagles, White Pelicans, Herons, Egrets, and scores of other birds winging their way south. There will be an early morning hike, "Birding with Audubon" at Starved Rock State Park, one of the few old-growth forested bluffs in Illinois. With advanced registration and a small additional fee, we can even arrange an afternoon of canoeing at the Nature Conservancy’s newly restored wetland preserve, Emiquon. (Audubon Society members can either receive a discount or if you bring a group of five or more we will donate 10% to your local chapter!).
