Did any one read the article in the front page about the bald eagle? I can not copy and paste right now until I buy another mouse or I would copy the article. I enjoy reading about the Eagles at Starve Rock.
The article states that this year that Starve Rock has less Eagles than in past year. The person contributes that she thinks it due to the Asian carp has ate the other type of fish that the Eagles eats and it's harder for the Eagles to catch their food due to that. Not exact words neither.
Now we also have a cockteal. This cockteal laughs and tries to get our parakeets to make noise. It is also working. He likes music.

I think any fish is on an eagles diet. usually the eagles hang around the lock and dam because there is open water to find fish. with the lack of freezing temperatures this year there is open water in the river systems. I think the eagles are spread over a larger area this year instead of being concentrated in the starved rock area. I have seen 6 eagles in the Morris area and two near the canoe launch in the past few weeks.

How many of you posters go over to Starve Rock and look at the Eagles? And also go on that trolly tour? Eagles can reach speeds of as much as 35 mph in flight. They are able to fly so fast because their bones are hollow and they're built for speed.
Eagles are Not bald. The word "balde" is French for white headed. Immature bald eagles are brown and don't fully mature until about the age of three years.
Bald eagles have 7,000 feathers. Wild bald eagles may live as long as 30 years.
