Bald Eagle Sightings.
The first time I saw a bald eagle in the wild was riding the Strasburg RR in Lancaster County. It was quite thrill and filled me with stirring, patriotic feeling riding an old steam engine train through the beautiful countryside and seeing the symbol of our country soaring through the air.
That was a couple years ago, and I hadn't seen another one again until recently, when I found out a few of them are nesting near my home. I mentioned it to a neighbor who directed me to the web site below for reporting sitings and seeing where others have seen them. The link is for PA, but clicking on Return in the upper left corner will take you to a page with links to the other states.

My folks in southern MD have at least two back behind their house. There were 3 (one was a hatchling) for a while.

I can't wait just to see one, but alas I don't think there are many here yet. Looking at the sightings makes me want to canoe from Lewistown to Harrisburg though and try my luck there

While working in Oil City/Rouseville, PA area a couple of years ago. Used to watch eagle fly up and down Oil Creek. One landed in a dead tree right across the creek one day. We got to watch it for a little while. Man, that thing was big. Really amazed at how mean it looked and the size of it's talons was incredible.

I saw one near Conshohocken area a few years back.
Damn fine birds if I ever saw one.==============

Re: Bald Eagle Sightings.
Saw one while we were biking the Washington Crossing canal bike path a few years ago. Kids were with us... yep inspires awe.
We live on 2 acres, and have had nests of Red tail hawks and Great Horned Owl... both birds also quite elegant. One young hawk landed to eat it's first caught meal while we were in the yard. It was fun to watch it attempt to eat it and couldn't decide the best way as the meal wasn't totally dead yet!

Re: Bald Eagle Sightings.
We have had one hanging out right down the road from us around the Brodhead, right in the middle of town. Every once in a while you see him swooping around ... pretty cool thing to see.
