Juvenile Bald Eagle  A Bald Eagle’s main diet is, of course, fish and they are great fisherman.  This juvenile eagle was fishing in an unfrozen part of the Illinois River near Starved Rock.  Most years, you can find 50 to 150 Bald Eagles wintering around Starved Rock because the nearby locks keep open water year around.  The warmer the winter; fewer eagles show up.
