Juvenile Bald Eagle Bald Eagles will soon be arriving at Starved Rock State Park. A few pairs nest there all year, but in January as the rivers freeze, hundreds of eagles come to fish near the locks in the river. The locks are kept open year around for commercial boats and the water near the locks remain ice free all winter.
