I've got to go there someday.Michael Swanwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389836784776252022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-41189952187449913732013-12-02T04:53:24.613-08:002013-12-02T04:53:24.613-08:00When we were in Juneau, Alaska last year, there we...When we were in Juneau, Alaska last year, there were spots where eagles were almost as common as ravens, though more people-shy.<br /><br />In early 2013, a nesting pair of eagles moved into a Pittsburgh hillside overlooking the Monongahela river. I drove out and saw them twice. Since then, I've seen eagles up off of 84 in northeastern Pennsylvania/upstate New York. Not as many as you've been seeing at the dam, but more than I'd seen in the east in many years. I think I'd seen a few eagles in Maine many years ago, but it was rare.Laurie Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886124993171547304noreply@blogger.com
