Good spotting, Jim. If you don't mind me asking, are you in PA? I have a feeling earlier posts might have indicated that. If so, is the Bald Eagle a resident species? |
I'm in NJ at work. Cherry Hill, which is about 5-10 miles (as the Eagle Flies)due east of center city Philadelphia.
Apparently, there are a few nesting pairs not far from here.

In fact over the last 20 years bald eagles have become a regular presence over New Jersey bodies of water statewide. According to the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife (NJDFW), as of a 2012 census, New Jersey has 119 active nesting pairs of bald eagles.
