Green River Lake, Home To the Bald Eagle………..?

This weekend a good friend and I went to the lake to view Bald Eagles in action! Prompted by thoughts of watching these majestic birds as they dive and soar through their daily routine, I was lured out to see what I did not believe were living right under my nose here in Central Kentucky. That’s right not just in National Parks or remote Wilderness Areas, Bald eagles are integral part of the Green River Ecosystem! Green River Lake is home to these amazing birds of prey. The best time to go eagle watching according to one of our locals, is around 9am, after a good rain. Drive out to the top of the dam and start looking at the far of knolls near the bridge! You will need some binoculars unless you are good at spotting something that has 7 times better vision than you. Please enjoy the images of these magnificent creatures below and feel free to post comments and pictures of any other spectacular life forms living in or around the area! Until next time, have a great week and happy hunting.”
