Ed Kennell 39,641 #1 Posted February 4 Enjoying my Walnut sticky bun and coffee this AM when this guy sailed over the house and landed about 200 yds away in the field. He fed on something for about 15 minutes before leaving. This is one of the largest eagles I have seen. 8 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Born and raised in western Pa, I know that area well.. But I live in South Central Pa. now near the Susquehanna River. We have a thriving eagle population all along the river and see eagles all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimSraj 462 #6 Posted February 4 I’m in the Lehigh Valley and we have an increasing population of bald eagles here too. I don’t ever remember seeing them as a boy growing up here but over the last 20 years they have become more common. No matter how often I see one they still awe me every time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I often pick up road killed deer and place them where I can watch from the house. I've had as many as five feeding on the same deer and it doesn't take them long to remove the meat.
