My last visit to Pennsylvania was on 15 November. It had been a long time. I was happy to be back if even for a very short visit. Our first stop was at SGL 214 to hopefully spot a few ducks or an eagle. We were quickly surprised to spot two eagles out soaring and hunting.
After a brief stop we made our way to SGL 213 and Geneva Marsh. There was enough ice to make the walk interesting. We both knew the real attraction was at the end of this gamelands road when we reached the marsh.
Turkey tracks...
We spotted this eagle in the tree well before we reached the water's edge. It was far enough away to not be bothered by our presence.
It's easy to hear sandhill cranes at the water's edge. It's not so easy to spot them. We were lucky that a few passed by while we were there. I had no idea the blurry image also picked up an immature eagle flying lower than the crane.
A huge gathering of ducks were at the far side of the marsh. They drift in and out of view so what is spotted is luck.
This would be a wonderful place to paddle someday.
