The Bald Eagle | Starved Rock Juvenile A few Bald Eagle pairs nest around Starved Rock 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. Juvenile Bald Eagles are a fairly common site in trees along roads around Starved Rock, particularly during cold winter months. For the whole story with all images, see The Bald Eagle | a 7 Image Story.
