Note from webmaster: Thanks John. Seems to have been a good winter for spotting eagles in the local area.
From Roger S:
I had a Peregrine Falcon eating a bird in my yard 1/20/10.
I know they are not supposed to be here in winter. I live in Camelot Subdivision - SW corner of I55 and I80. Woods and open fields. I have seen one here several times in the past from Feb. to early spring. It took off just as I got back to the window with my camera. I hope to see it again with the camera ready.
From Virginia in Wilmington, IL:
Saw 2 bald eagles flying over the islands behind my house on Kankakee River Dr in Wilmington, 1/2 mile east of the Pheasant Farm. Wow - what a sight!
From LeeAnn Goodwin in Channahon:
I saw and got a couple of photos of a Caspian Tern also saw my first Black Crowned Night Heron there of the season, they seem to be down in numbers due to the increased population of fishermen in that spot.
