Fly

Why Eagles

to the Poconos

T

housands of miles of lush forests and flowing waterways, the Pocono Mountains provides an ideal habitat for many species of animals. Few mountain experiences can be as exhilarating as the opportunity to observe wildlife in an unspoiled setting with eagle watching reaching its peak in the coming weeks. 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 northern lakes and rivers begin to freeze, these majestic creatures fly to the Poconos, where open water supplies a steady source of fish. The visiting raptors join a growing population of resident eagles, perched in trees hunting throughout the season.

Sponsored Eagle Watches, available through many area organizations, provide safe and exciting opportunities for observation. Checkout our Coming Events page for a line-up to sign-up with many requiring reservations. Updates online at ThisWeek.net.
