In Turners Falls Massachusetts at the EESC-USGS Conte Fish Lab we are situated on a power canal pulled from the Connecticut River to supply water to the hydroelectric plant adjacent to our location.  This location attracts so many species of birds from Ducks, to Swans, to Canada geese & these beautiful Blue heron & White Egrets.
