Often the best birds are near open water, even if they don’t eat fish.
Anthony Bruno found these two at Loyalhanna Dam on January 27 and 28 — an eastern screech-owl (who doesn’t eat fish) and an immature bald eagle (who does).
As we head into February, birds are harder to find in western Pennsylvania. It’s the low ebb of our birding year.
Check out the places with open water and you’ll have better luck.
Look closely. They may be camouflaged.

p.s. I went to Loyalhanna Dam today and saw 5 bald eagles but I missed the eastern screech-owl.
I went there on Saturday after Anthony told me the exact tree were the Screech was, but no luck with him so I had to settle with seeing 15 Bald Eagles!
Steve, 15 eagles are awesome!
Hi Kate, Could you tell me the best way to get into the Eagle cam. Last year I just had to go to PixController, Inc. Bald Eagle and I got in, but not this year.
Have seen some action at the Gulf tower and hope they will stay. Thanks.
Nellie, go to http://eagles.aswp.org and you’ll see both Hays and Harmar eaglecams.
