953 nut 56,369 #1 Posted January 10 National Save the Eagles Day on January 10 is a day to raise awareness about eagles and to give thanks for the conservation efforts to prevent their extinction. Did you know that there are more than 60 different species of eagles in the world? The bald eagle and the golden eagle are the only two species of eagles found in the U.S. As poaching, pesticides, human intervention, and other dangers continue to threaten eagle populations across the world, we need to come together to save and protect these majestic creatures, the symbol of American freedom. 3 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,623 #3 Posted January 10 The pair that were out back of the house only came and checked on the nest a couple of times late Fall and early Winter. Never fully returned though. They must have used that nest 5-6 years. But not this year, miss seeing them every day. They only seemed to use that nest in the Winter, didn't see them much in the summer.

JimSraj 456 #4 Posted January 10 Very happy to say that their presence here in the Lehigh Valley has been increasing for the past 15-20 years. I don’t ever remember seeing them here when I was growing up but now sitings are not uncommon and nesting pairs can be found. It is still a thrill to see one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 39,429 #5 Posted January 10 Conowingo, Holtwood, Safe Harbor, and York Haven dams are all good sources of food for the Susquehanna River eagles. I live about 10 mile from the river and have many nests in the area. When possible, I pick up road kills and place them in areas where it is safe for the wildlife to feed. The eagles love to follow the train that we use to stock trout from in the spring. The golden trout are easy pickings. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-85 709 #6 Posted January 10 I am very glad to see this come back! I'm ashamed to say that when I was in the Army Reserve in the early 80s, we sprayed gallons and gallons of DDT at Ft. Drum, and Ft. Devens! C-85 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 853 #7 Posted January 11 The first time I went fishing in Canada, back in the mid '80s, was the first time I ever saw a bald eagle. We all thought it was a spectacular moment. I'm happy to say that we now see them quite frequently in NE Indiana! Even had one stop off in my back yard last summer!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonytoro416 1,085 #8 Posted January 12 Mid eastern indiana here and have a pair I get to watch from my desk sometimes every month of the year. I work next door to an ethanol plant and they sit and watch over all rodent activity that happens there. I have been lucky enough to see them hunt and lucky enough to see them for days straight. Gets me every time 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
