As mentioned earlier, rising waters, flooding, etc. were part of the Bald Eagle's visit this year. In the area where we park, the flood level had risen 1-2 feet above the parking lot level. Fences were torn down and a wooden viewing platform was destroyed. Thankfully, Exelon who operates the hydroelectric generating Conowingo Dam made immediate repairs to the area. But as waters from up North continued to apply pressure to the dam, it caused them to allow more water to flow through. It was an unusual sight. Here is a lonely adult Bald Eagle sitting on a large rock as the water rages in the background.
