In January of 2008, this golden eagle was trapped by the NYSDEC as part of an Upper Delaware eagle study. It was a female adult, weighing in at an even 14 pounds. Goldens are slightly larger than bald eagles. During the spring of 2009, this eagle migrated almost 1300 miles to her breeding territory in northern Labrador. It appeared that she had a nest high up on the side of a gorge that had a stream running through it. Her telemetry worked for two years, and she returned to our region for the second winter.

Seize your power when it comes to social media. The Pike County Conservation District (PCCD) has launched a new series using the hashtag #ResourceSaturday to raise awareness of Pennsylvania’s rich natural resources. The initiative supports the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program (PNHP), which collects information regarding the Commonwealth’s biological diversity and develops County Natural Heritage Inventories (CNHIs). Every other Saturday, PCCD will feature inventory sites such as Egypt Meadow Lake (shown here) on its social media, using the posts to link to the inventory. The public is invited to explore the state’s natural heritage and to participate in the conservation of Pike County’s ecological resources. Post your photos of these sites with the hashtag #ResourceSaturday, and PCCD may share your pictures on its page. Visit www.facebook.com/pikeconservation, www.instagram.com/pike_conservation or www.naturalheritage.state.pa.us/Resource.aspx to learn more. Then go global by celebrating #InternationalDayofForests on Sunday, March 21 and #WorldWaterDay on Monday, March 22.
