 The Warbler Wave Minimize

A natural show everyone should catch  Yellow Warbler

HARRISBURG - If you didn't know much about warblers, or really don't pay any particular attention to singing songbirds, you can easily miss one of spring's most exciting events - the annual warbler migration. It's underway right now.

Each spring, about 40 wood warbler species either return to nest or move through Penn's Woods to reach more northern nesting grounds.

Females are less comely and more prone to utilize cover.

Warblers are that enchanting, that special. Continue.......

 Bald Eagles Continue Their Impressive Comeback Minimize

HARRISBURG - The bald eagle's presence will be more visible in the Commonwealth this Fourth of July than any Independence Day in the past 100 years, according to Pennsylvania Game Commission officials.

"Pennsylvania's bald eagle population continues to grow in leaps and bounds," noted Vern Ross, Game Commission executive director.   "They were so imperiled here during the 1980s that only three nesting pairs remained in the state. Now, bald eagles are nesting in dozens of locations statewide.

"It's gratifying to know these magnificent birds have unquestionably reestablished their place in Pennsylvania's Great Outdoors. For many of us, seeing one overhead equals or exceeds the excitement we feel when the sky lights up with fireworks. They are stop-in-your-tracks handsome, an enduring symbol that showcases America's rugged spirit, strength and resolve." Continue.......
