The bald eagle activity looks like it has picked up, so let's try it again.
This is outside of the Virginia Beltway, but it is worth the trip. It is about a 2-hour drive from Virginia, north of Baltimore. The Conowingo Dam has been known for the highest number of Bald Eagles on the East Coast.
You are on your own for parking to get there early. I saw cars getting tickets once the parking lot was full. They may have a shuttle bus if you park in the nearby field off the main road
We will aim to park towards the visitor's center, towards the dam.
We will leave around 9am and head towards Golden Coral for breakfast. It's about 25 minutes south on the way back to the DC Metro area.
