Every year in the winter months American Bald Eagles travel from areas north of the Pocono and Catskill Mountains to the confluence of the Lackawaxen and Delaware Rivers in Northeast Pennsylvania. As one of the northern most food sources of fish for the wintering eagles, the intersection of the Lackawaxen and Delaware Rivers does not freeze over and offers a plentiful supply of fish during the coldest months of the year. This makes Lackawaxen Pennsylvania a prime spot for observing these magnificent birds. There is nothing like seeing an eagle in its natural environment. The Delaware Highlands Conservancy runs eagle watching trips, offers an information center, and has self guided eagle tours. There is also and eagle watching blind located a couple of minutes south of the visitor center on the New York side of the Delaware River. There are many mating pairs that live in the area year-round with seasonal populations at this time of the year growing exponentially. Although, the number of eagles has rebounded in the last 10 years, they are still endangered by lead, pollution, and clear cutting of habitats. If you are looking for things to do in the Poconos in the winter, this is a great family activity. Lackawaxen is in Pike County located in Northeast PA.
