This Bald eagle nest is about a mile from town in a tree near the Allegheny river, and is one of two nests that I know of nearby. The two fledglings may have left the since this picture was taken in early May, but it shows that they are making a comeback locally.
The rock formation is one of several in the mountains and was formed from sandstone conglomerates laid down 350 million years ago when there used to be an inland sea around here. I stumbled upon this one and another while hiking, although there are others, including an "official" formation called Rimrock on which climbers rapel, and at which the conservation corps built steps and railings during the 1930's.
