The Westfield River: From the Ring of Ice to the Fish Weirs 

In this video, join my brother Steve and I as we descend the lower Westfield River between West Springfield and Agawam and explore some of its' hidden History and Wildlife. Steve leads bird tours all over the Northeast and adds his expertise in that area and others to the trip. We will examine the site of West Side's famous Ice Ring and explore the hitherto hidden Amerindian connection with video of the remains of the communities relatively unknown Fish-Weirs....Trickle Dams made by the Agawam Indians to catch the Anadromous fish that frequent the river every spring. These Pre-Historic fish weirs have yet to be archaeologically cataloged but they soon will be. Of course, there will be fishing along the way!
