    We've seen them the last couple weeks in a row during the Sunday morning bird walk @ Eagle Creek Park. There is supposedly a nest on-site there, as well.

    To update my own previous post - A couple weeks ago, I was at Eagle Creek Park and had a juvenile bald eagle fly in and plop down on the ground about 100 yards from where I was standing. Later that same day, I spotted the juvenile and an adult in adjacent trees within sight of I-65.

    I have never seen a Bald Eagle in IN, but many in Alaska. When I saw the first one, "Wow, what a beautiful bird" The next one "Oh another one" Then the next one " Oh, just another bird". After that, " It just a bird".

    In Alaska - (and I hate to say it), but it verges on being a trash bird.

    Difficult to see hundreds of them @ a trash dump gorging on...trash.

    Saw an adult and juvenile again this morning around the 56th Street bridge, and heard them calling. For such a majestic bird, the Bald Eagle has a really wussy voice. No wonder they usually overdub a red-tailed hawk scream or something in the movies.
