There is a nest at Beanblossom Bottoms Nature Preserve near Martinsville that now has three healthy chicks. It can be clearly viewed from the a deck at the end of the aptly-named Eagle Trail.

We fish a small lake in Salem Indiana and a bald eagle lives there. It is a awesome sight to watch him catch a fish. I am going to try to get some pics this year.

Just off of 56? I've seen him there.

Here is one of the eagles flying over me as it left the nest.

I had the opportunity to photgraph a trio of eaglets a few years ago. It was neat to watch them practice their 'first flight' attempts.

It is very cool to see one in person.

Eagles are really on the rebound in Indiana, when I was in undergrad got lucky enough to see some around Wabash and Peru, the ones outside Wabash had a nest with little ones in it and one the prof's had a bird scope so able to see it up close. Got lucky in WI and was doing some kayaking and saw one grab a fish within 100 yards of me.

Also got to get up close to one that was captive (wounded years ago by a car and couldn't fly) its impressive how big they are, they get nervous easily though and have such a big heart you could see it pumping through its chest it was amazing.

They can be seen year round but February is typically when the most sightings are recorded.
