Bald eagles are flying south to Illinois for the winter. Here’s where to see them.

On the Des Plaines River, look, again, for open water. There’s an eagle’s nest near Lyons, less than a mile from a rocky area of the Des Plaines River where the water is slow to freeze, Neise said. If the rocky area — just north of the intersection of Joliet Avenue and Ogden Avenue — remains unfrozen, the Lyons eagle pair may try to fish there.
