If you really want to see a Bald Eagle, then you should have been on today's CMBO program, Where The Eagles Are. This was a brand new program offered for the first time, centered around some of the best areas to see Bald Eagles (including several active nest sites) in Cumberland County. And it certainly lived up to its billing, with a total of 16 Bald Eagles seen between six different sites as well as a host of other great finds, including a dark-morph Rough-legged Hawk at Newport Landing, nearly 30 Northern Harriers hunting at the same time at Turkey Point, and an entertaining mid-air battle at Beaver Dam Boat Rental between two male Red-tailed Hawks over some sort of rodent. Lists from Newport Landing and Green Swamp/PSE&G Cohansey River Restoration Site are included. It might be cold, but there are certainly birds to be found, so get out there!
