an accomplishment for which every Pennsylvanian should be proud; one that should remind all of us immediately of the eagle’s incredible recovery, as well as its enduring representation of American strength and freedom. In the not too distant future, it would appear the bald eagle will be removed from the ranks of Pennsylvania threatened species. It’s already happened on the national level; they were delisted from the national endangered/threatened species rolls in 2006. When that day comes for Pennsylva- nia, bald eagles will be all the way back from the brink. Until then, all of us should take pride in the tremendous progress that has been made for eagles and know that their future is more secure than it has been in a long, long time. Editor’s note: Thank you to Milford residents Nancy Eller and David Wineberg for opening their home to the Game Commission and making some of these photographs possible. By Dan Lynch What They’re Saying About the Game Commission I love the new look of the magazine. Although the Field Notes are one of my favorites, I really enjoy the “Behind the Badge” stories. I think these law enforcement articles are very interesting to many readers, who are ethical hunters, and don’t often encounter unethical individuals or get to read about such wrongdoings short of this series. Please keep it up and run these type stories every month. Thanks so much. — Scott Canfield JULY 2013 31
