The Susquehanna River Eagles..That's My World










During the winter months the eagles show up in large numbers at the Susquehanna river below the dam. This past Sunday hubby and I had to go and see them.




There had to be at least a hundred of them in the sky, in the trees and on the rocks. They were everywhere we looked. This is a good chance to see the juvenile Eagles at various stages.






Some we could see were starting to get their white heads, some were the first year Eagles. I am amazed to see them fish and interact with each other.







We also saw a lot of Cormorants, Black Vultures and Turkey Vultures and Great Blue Heron. We try to visit the Eagles at the Susquehanna River a few times a year maybe more. This is part of my world here in Maryland.

  2. I'm envious that you've found such a great spot to watch eagles! Cormorants, turkey vultures and great blue herons I know where to look for but eagles are yet a mystery!

  10. gee, i remember when we were on travel and we saw an eagle flying overhead our resort. We went into panic mode to get our camera. How much more if there're a hundred of them?! I'd be stupified LOL! Lovely captures! i'd love to see them all for real.

  11. Hi Eileen, I lived for a year in Havre de Grace, MD - I ran through the grounds at the Veterans Hospital across the river at Perryville and often saw eagles perched in the tall trees. However, it's amazing that you saw so many. Your in-flight captures are wonderful. Your Header is beautiful, too.

  20. It is so good to see so many healthy, happy eagles. No wonder you love to visit them regularly.

    My grandparents lived in Pennsylvania, and I could see the Susquehanna River in the distance from their front porch. I feel a kinship with those eagles, knowing that same river is nurturing them.
