Bald Eagles making a resurgence in Indiana

In a field in Beale, Indiana, on Sept. 30, someone found a dead bald eagle.

As sad as it was for that majestic creature to have died, the band the eagle was wearing around its foot told a story of longevity.

Bald eagles are back in Indiana. Dept. of Natural Resources non-game bird biologist Allison Gilette says there are over 300 nests throughout Indiana.

That’s after most bald eagles in the Hoosier state died before the 1970s due to a pesticide.

The eagle that was found in Knox County had a band that indicated that not only are eagles living in Indiana, but they are living a long time — it was banded in 1998, and lived to be 21.
