that must be a different nest....Romeo & Juliet have 2 healthy nestlings!

i live near starved rock Illinois and the Eagles come there to the dam in the cold winter to fish in the Illinois river....as I understand, they have migrated down from Canada, where all the waters are frozen over, whereas here the dam keeps it from freezing......actually the end of January the Audubon society has a gathering and an eagle day there.....am planning on a visit that day...unless too cold! They are truly a sight to see!
