A Majestic Migration:
Bald Eagles in the Poconos The season for eagle-watching is upon us! Don’t miss your chance to spot some regal eagles in the Poconos! According to the Eagle Institute, hundreds of bald eagles migrate to this region each winter in search of open water, abundant food and undisturbed habitat. When the lakes and rivers to our north begin to freeze, the majestic creatures fly toward the Poconos, where the open water offers a consistent source of fish. The visiting raptors join a growing population of resident eagles, perching in trees and hunting throughout the season. Sponsored Eagle Watches provide safe and exciting opportunities for observation. Monroe County Conservation District’s Environmental Education Center (MCEEC) will sponsor Eagle Watches in the Upper Delaware River Region on Fridays, January 31, and February 7 and 14. The guided excursions begin at 8:30 a.m. Interested parties should register in advance by calling (570) 629-3061. A community Eagle Day will take place at PPL’s Lake Wallenpaupack Environmental Learning Center on Saturday, January 25. Outdoor enthusiasts of all ages are invited to join the Delaware Highlands Conservancy, PPL and other local organizations for a free afternoon all about eagles! There will be hands-on activities and a presentation featuring live birds of prey. Events take place from 1 to 4 p.m. E-mail pplpreserves@pplweb.com or call (570) 2537001 for details. Additional Eagle Watches are available through the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC), the Delaware Highlands Conservancy and the Northeast PA Audubon Society.
