Majestic Bald Eagle Spotted Near Rt. 412
A bald eagle was spotted sitting in a tree near Rt. 412 in South Bethlehem on Monday, Nov. 2, 2015.
A Saucon Source reader photographed a bald eagle in a tree near Rt. 412 in South Bethlehem Monday.
Joe Polak said he spotted the large raptor at about 8 a.m. near the Saucon Creek bridge in an area that’s currently under heavy construction due to the Rt. 412 widening project.
“I never saw one around here in the wild,” he said of the national symbol.
Bald eagle sightings have been on the rise in the Lehigh Valley area in recent years as the majestic bird’s comeback throughout Pennsylvania and other areas where it was once endangered continues.
Last November another Patch reader spotted a bald eagle near the Saucon Rail Trail in Hellertown.
