We saw one this morning in Brick. He cruised by 100' away, 20' high. Took a fish 9" long without a splash from Forge Pond. He had a 6' wingspan. I thought I saw a pair two weeks ago, eating something on the ice so there must be a pair.

I bet that wingspan would have looked greater if he was on the ground near you

 

Nice report. I haven't seen one in years. Even though I am close to Hawk Mountain. I've never even stopped by.

I saw one last year while hiking around in the great swamp just off the Batsto river....just circling around....very nice sight to see.

Saw one on Lake Hopatcong last summer.

if you lived in sussex county, you'd see them pretty often...especially if you lived up towards wantage or montague...there are a number of them nesting in the high point state park and wallkill river preserves

The Manasquan reservoir in Howell has a nest.

Nest over 206 up by stokes...By Kittatany Lake..

There is a nest in rt 40 in woodstown. Also right outside the eagle point Sunoco refinery (hence the name)

There's a nest in the Princeton area on rt 1. My future FIL got to hold one of the eaglets over the summer(he works the enviornmental division of njdot).

They seem to be more abundant the farther north you go.

 

I frequently backpack northern NJ and eastern PA and even on a day hike, you will likely see at least one or two peacefully gliding around the ridges looking for a meal.

 

Even near my area at Round Valley, there are a few nests.

We kayak in Forge Pond, going to have ot keep an eye out next summer. We have them in Howell at the Resevoir and I have seen them fly over my house. Merril Creek Resevoir has a bunch of them. Nesting platforms, hiking trail and viewing areas. Great nature center too.

When I was out in the seattle area, I couldn't believe how many bald eagles I saw.

 

Here in NJ, I've seen two in the manchester area.
