Comments on: Eagle Day http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/2009/07/04/eagle-day/ A Bird Blog with Kate St. John Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:53:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Darlene http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/2009/07/04/eagle-day/comment-page-1/#comment-8142 Darlene Fri, 18 Sep 2009 00:12:56 +0000 http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/?p=8141#comment-8142 I saw what I believe is an immature bald eagle (though very large) while jogging at the Roaring Run Trail in souther Armstrong County, Apollo, PA. It was flying/flapping it's wings, not gliding. It was very powerful looking, seemingly in no hurry but still not dwaddling. I have seen many vultures and red-tailed hawks before, and this bird was not either of those. A number of years ago, I saw an adult bald eagle from a gas station in North Apollo (a few miles away from Roaring Run). I was later told that there was a nesting pair at Crooked Creek Lake/Dam. Sorry, no pictures. If anyone has any other ideas of what else I might have seen, I would love to hear them. I am no expert, but I have a pretty solid life experience involving nature/animals/ecology.

I wanted to let you know that there is another "Don't Walk" Robin's nest on Forbes & Craig. The nest is near Kiva Han across the street from Starbucks. I saw a Robin land at the nest Sunday morning.

FYI: Good article in today's Los Angeles Times concerning the only bald eagle nest in Washington, DC and US Dept of Homeland Security's plans for a HQs Bldg. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-eagles4-2009jul04,0,3805855.story Kate, a gentleman from Erie who shares info on bald eagles with me sent me this interesting article about the only bald eagle nest in our nation’s capital and what may become of it and the eagles.

There are young eagles who have just fledged also in Springboro, PA and there is a nest on the French Creek Reservoir best viewed from a bridge in Union City (just below Erie)...they are definitely making a comeback.

The nest has been there for a number of years and I believe there are babies again this year. we have a nest site with babies this year in Amity Township, Erie County.
