Martinsville Eagle?

[techres]

As I was leaving the Martinsville range this morning a large bird dove down, picked up a squirrel and then flew down the creek low and right past me.

I swear the bird was an Eagle. I know hawks & turkey vultures, etc. This was not them. It was clearly a white headed Eagle.

Anyone heard of eagles up that way?

Yep, there is a pair of nesting eagles by the fisheries which is not far by air. They have another set by Bradford woods.

There aree alot of Eagles now in Northen Indiana my mom and dad have Eagles on there property in Logansport, was great to see them the first time. Im just glad that we are seeing more of them around Northern Indiana

Wish I had gotten a good pic with the camera.

They are hard to catch a pic of due to their speed. Unless you can catch them either on the nest or in a tree top hunting it's pretty difficult. But they are an impressive sight.

There was a bald eagle hanging around IU a while back. It was sitting in the tree with a squirrel it captured.

Eagles in Morgan County

My kids and I have seen them heading from the range to Mooresville. They went to grade school in Waverly until a few years ago and used to see them regularly near Indiana 37 and 144.

They are impressive animals to say the least, especially when you catch sight of one diving down on some unsespecting lunch!

I live in Morgan county and have seen Eagles a few times. It is always when I'm fishing near the white river at our family lakes. A few miles west of 67 near Paragon

I saw a pair of eagles flying very high when I was at the Matinsville range just before Thanksgiving.
They are impressive

Years ago Indianapolis Power and Light renamed the Martinsville generating plant to Eagle Valley Generating Station because of Bald Eagles nesting in the close proximity of the area.

IU's Bradford Woods is just West, North West of Eagle Valley and about 2.5 miles north of Martinsville.

Those eagles are nesting just off the lake at Bradford Woods but they use the power plant to hunt fish because it does not freeze in the area where the cooling water discharges to the river.

Yes. I have seen a baldeagle sitting in a tree along curry road in greenwood. Pretty neat

Saw one by the gate last year, in a field behind Wal Mart, nest just down the road from the house, nests all over Morgan County.

What area do you live @ in Mooresville? I was a life long resident until moving between Mooresville and Plainfield 7 years ago.

The reason I ask is that my best friend lives just west of 267 south of where "new" 267 T's and there is a nesting Eagle that is within a mile of his house and they see it all the time swooping down to the gravel pits for food.

As much as I'm over there, one of these days I hope to see it, I always have my Canon XTi with me just in case.

I was heading East on 144 coming out of Moorsville about a month ago and saw one. I had just passed Mann road and it was heading West.

 

[witdog2020]

Ive seen them up around Muncie Reservoir a few times. The Osprey seems to be making a comeback as well around the reservoirs.

 

[euby]

I have them in the back yard, they are always sitting at the top of my biggest pines or way up in the air circling. Love their call.

There is a nesting pair in the middle of the Ozark Fishery off of Cramertown Loop Rd.

Only one pic? With all the people posting about seeing one you would think there would be a few more pics. Maybe bald eagles are as elusive as a sasquatch! Come on guys, somebody get some pics of the symbol of our nation and post 'em!
