Ever spot an American bald eagle?

Bald eagle watching is a very popular winter activity in the Pocono Mountains. December through March, the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River and the Lackawaxen River are special spots for sightings whenever the waters are not frozen. The eagles migrate south from Maine and parts of Canada to reach open waters in which to feed. The Pocono Mountains provides an ideal habitat with clean water and undisturbed land with lots of food and large trees in which to roost, perch and nest.

Contact The Eagle Institute at 570-685-5960 or visit their web site at www.eagleinstitute.org for more information about these sightings.
