The adult Bald Eagle that landed atop a nearby cedar tree
seemed unperturbed by the harassing calls and dives of a group of American
Crows. Declared our national emblem by Congress in 1782, we had plenty of time
to observe its majestic flight and posture. It's a busy time of year for our
local Bald Eagles. Because of their size, it takes months for them to raise and
fledge young. As January progresses into February, they'll be repairing old
nests and starting to lay eggs. The Cumberland County Winter Eagle Festival,
scheduled for February 3rd up in Mauricetown, is a great place to see eagles in
flight and at their nests. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Kyle Chelius,
