Tracy Ross speaks with John Pollpeter about eagle viewing in Land Between the Lakes.
Birds of prey, including the bald eagle and osprey, were reintroduced to the Land Between the Lakes area in the 1980s. Since then, January has been one of the best times of year to view the now abundant bald eagle population of LBL. This is due to a couple of different reasons, Pollpeter begins. Because of the colder temperatures you find up North, a lot of eagles will migrate South along the Mississippi Flyway and find Land Between the Lakes to be the first open water in a long distance. So we end up having twice as many bald eagles in the area as we normally do.
