Housenick Park's Bald Eagles

Nest is in center of this picture, about 60' above the ground.
After reading (probably in The Bethlehem Press) that developer Michael Perrucci has abandoned plans for a high-density luxury apartment complex next to Housenick Park, two interlopers have moved in. They refuse to pay rent, have applied for no permits and are very nasty to their neighbors.

In fact, they eat them.

Two mature bald eagles have moved into Housenick Park .

They've been spotted dining on duck as well as a Monocacy Creek sucker. So far, they've made no attempt to eat any Bethlehem Township Commissioners.

It's unclear whether this couple is married or just having a fling. Who knows, they might even be LGBT bald eagles, who moved into the area after reading (in The Bethlehem Press) about Bethlehem's new sexual orientation laws.

    Please ask that township courageous commissioner to start a fund to save this park.

    Hey Bernie
    Changing the topic, but only a little. Another beautiful "bird" was on TV this morning, Ms. Bennett. She did a very good job.

    It's nice to see something other than the usual vultures in the area.

    The funding will hopefully be through private donations. Stay away from county council. Hopefully we can protect these birds from the Indians. Another disturbing topic.

    One of these interlopers flew over my house in North Bethlehem in November. One of the coolest things I've ever seen!

    Bill, I'm jealous. I've yet to see one of them.
