In 2002, a bald eagle nest was spotted in the Chicago area for the first time in 100 years. Today, there are already nearly 40 known nesting pairs in Northeastern Illinois. What has contributed to the increase in numbers, and how can that positive trend upwards continue? What are some of the programs and activities that are active to help increase numbers of bald eagles? What can you do –as an individual, family, or group – to help increase numbers of bald eagles and areas with natural habitat for them? Find out about the Illinois Raptor Center (501c3) and other resources where you can volunteer or help spread the word about their services. What do you need to know about when and where to look for bald eagles? How do you identify gender, age and more? To register e-mail SM.FS.Midewin_RSVP@usda.gov or call 815-423-6370
