OK, this time surely it will work. The computer gods can't hate me that
much.

Subject: Bald Eagle in Stark County
I just got a call from the Hueston-Brumbaugh Nature Center south of Alliance
to inform me that they had gotten a call from a lady who lives in Mapleton,
east of East Canton. She had observed & taken pictures of an adult Bald
Eagle on her street. It was there for about a 1/2 hour. The closest large
body of water is Lake Mohawk, to the south. The 2nd closest is Walborn
Reservoir to the north, where a pair of eagles have nested for the last 3 or
4 years. But it is about 20 miles, at least, away. Zepperneck Lake is only a
few miles further, to the east of where the eagle was seen. I am mentioning
all this in speculation of the reason for the eagle to be at this location.
The most logical assumption probably is that the eagel was just passing
through since I believe they are very much on the move right now, looking
for new territories, and/or mates. It could also very well be 1 of the pair
from Walborn, though why it would be
foraging in that area is worth pondering. But another tempting possibility
is that it is looking for a new nesting territory in the Lake Mohawk or
Zepperneck areas. All this dialoge is to encourage everyone who lives or
travels in the southeastern Stark Co., northern Carroll Co. or southwestern
Columbiana Co. to keep their eyes peeled for Bald Eagles & possible nesting
behavior. They are starting to turn up just about anywhere!
