Go look up the rest of the story. Google and history are your fiends. I can't do all your work.

I see them all the time in Sarasota and Venice. Myakka is always a good bet to see bald eagles.

I went to a wedding in Columbia, SC a month ago and saw one flying over the church. At the same time, 10 young Marine officers had their swords drawn, sending off the bride and groom. Cool!

Google and history are your [friends].

I've been doing that. Unfortunately, "Austrian grouse" only generates one Google hit that actually talks about birds, and the first three or four pages of hits for "franklin" and "turkey" don't indicate that he meant anything but a wild turkey.

Too bad, it sounded like a good story.

Don't forget Bald Eagle Ice cream...

Within a few weeks, you'll be able to see them start to nest, lay their egg(s), watch the eggs hatch, etc.

I've heard there are a few eagles along the Susquehanna. I've talked to some people who live near the West Branch and see them.

January is the best month to catch the Lackawaxen eagles. They're generally around December-March depending on the winter. Being a mild winter this year there's plenty of open water further north so the migratory birds are going back north early. My brother was there about a week ago and was disappointed to see "only" 5 eagles.

My understanding is that the Lackawaxen through Pike County doesn't freeze over because of the Lake Wallenpaupack power plant. The open water is a magnet for the eagles. It isn't a big river and a 2 lane road follows close to one bank. It's called Towpath Road because back in the 19th century mules towed barges along the river and a canal. Remnants of the canal are still there.

Try to make a January trip next year. Just google Lackawaxen eagles for info. You're not that far. In the town of Lackawaxen there's a place called Two River Junction. They have a telescope trained on a nest and let eagle watchers take a peek.

Saw 14 of them on the way to work this morning in MT. They usually show up in December and are all gone by March. More juveniles here this year than in the past few years.

There is nothing more relaxing and beautiful to watch a bald eagle circle back and forth, riding the air currents.

I have to disagree. Although a bald eagle is very relaxing to watch, I prefer walking around our house on days when there are over 50 hanging around.

We see nesting pairs of Bald Eagles here on the Chesapeake Bay on a regular basis.

Probably not preferred real estate for them. . .this is prime osprey territory (fish eagles)and they are major enemies.(Flash back to scene of Clinton with 'recovered' eagle being returned to the wild. . .bird takes off. . .Oh, no! Shot down by osprey!)
