We stopped the truck to get a look at it and sure enough it was a bald eagle. None of us have ever seen one in our area before and were shocked to see it. Has anyone else been seeing any around the area?

We talked to a guy that had a bird exhibit at the festival and we told him what it looked like and he said it was definitely a bald, and he said that there have been a lot of reports around of folks seeing them.

Status: offline 		I saw one fly over the yough river and also saw one in Belle Vernon.  I have seen them almost every trip to the Allegheny... usually see several up there.  We saw one dive for a trout which was cool.  I heard they stopped using a chemical to spray the powerlines which was causing the eggs to become soft and that's why there are more of them now.  Actually saw one in west Virginia and on a recent trip to Ontario.  I won't get sick of them that's for sure. They are beautiful
