If you want to see Bald Eagles in Northern Indiana…

Launch at Oliver Lake and go into Olin Lake. I watched two adults and a juvenile on and off Saturday while trolling in Olin Lake.

They are everywhere on the Wabash.

Good to hear. Just want them to stay away from my fish farm.

Wherever you go in Indiana today, while you are on the water, you have a chance to see a bald eagle. What a sight to see. Watched one at work the other day for about ten minutes. Nice break. Remember the reason why they are here now: Because the people wanted clean air and water. Without it, eagles would not fly here.

Lets remind the younger generation of what was . . . and what we do not want to see again.

No longer using DDT has helped a lot. I remember as a kid they said it made the eggs shells thinner and they would break when the parent bird sat on them.

I know a guy that says DDT was not a problem. Funny he works as an attorney down in Texas that defends big industry. His firm defended BP with the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.

They can have a wingspan up to 7.5 feet! Keep an eye on your dog in the boat if it's one of the smaller breeds!   

A turkey buzzard only goes up to 6 feet.

Yeah I always have about seventy-five to a hundred or so turkey vultures that hang around the house all the time and this Eagle definitely dwarfed all of the vultures that hang around the house

BigR: I was talking to someone last week that said the Missi has a very large group in the fall/winter. Do you know of this? Could you keep us informed?

The question is why are vultures hanging around your house? 

[taxid]

maybe his fish pile behind the barn. lol

 

I know a taxidermist that was complaining about buzzards hanging around his shop. But the guy was throwing skinned out deer heads in a field behind his shop! Go figure!

I would love to know they are around everyday ! For over a year

Serial killer dumping ground near your house.  :blink:

Or does a taxidermist live near you? The one I'm talking about lives in Monroe, Indiana.

I've been watching them at Willow Slough for years.
