Title: I Saw A Bald Eagle!!!!!
Post by: JennyW on March 28, 2022, 07:23:22 AM
We took a Sunday drive yesterday in Leola when we saw the biggest nest in a tree that we've ever seen. We stopped along the road to walk closer to it. That's when John saw this bald eagle perching and watching us. As it tired of us staring and taking pictures, it flew away to its mate sitting in another tree. Unfortunately I don't have the type of lens needed to do it justice nor did I have a tripod on hand to keep steady, but here's the best I could do with what I have.

Hi Jacqueline! Actually in that last image, you're seeing its mate. The first eagle is top left and second one is diagonally below right to it. I wasn't able to get a picture of the nest because it was FREEZING out, and at that moment it started to snow; so I needed to get my camera back in the car. We drive by there a lot so I'll try to get the nest one of these days. The wingspan is very large for sure. It just made me so excited because all my life I heard about bald eagles and saw pictures of them never imagining I'd ever see one around here in Pennsylvania Dutch Country - Lol!
