Bill Uhlrich of the Reading Eagle reports the amazing recovery of the bald eagle and its nesting expansion into Berks County - now with five active nesting pairs in the county and over 25 adults and young counted.  


Another nesting site along the Kittatinny Ridge and Corridor is on Haldeman Island (State Game Land 290) in Dauphin County, an island along the Susquehanna River just north of its confluence with the Juniata River.  Closed to public access.  PA Game Commission Land Management Supervisor, Scott Bills, recently led a birdwatching hike in conjunction with Duncannon Borough's Appalachian Trail Community celebration where new birders were able to view the nesting site and treated to a few scenes of soaring adult bald eagles above.
