Most migratory birds high-tail it out of Illinois during winter, but that’s when bald eagles opt to move in. According to state officials, more bald eagles over-winter here than anywhere outside of Alaska.
Thanks to our sponsors:
Some 3,000 of the raptors will spend the season hanging out along the state’s waterways, with January and February being the prime time to catch a glimpse of these majestic birds. Though a number of events have been canceled due to the pandemic, including the Illinois Audubon Society’s Bald Eagle Watch Weekend, the birds are still out there, and there are plenty of places in the Chicago region where the eagles can be seen.
