Bald Eagles disappeared as a nesting bird in Indiana in the late 1800s. In 1985 the re-introduction began with 3 birds on a temporary scaffold hack tower in Eel Creek bay of Lake Monroe. Over the next 4 years (1986-89) at total of 73 eagles were released at a permanent hacktower in North Fork of Lake Monroe. During this period an eagle that was hacked at Land Between the Lakes in Tennessee took up housekeeping within eyeshot of the North Fork hacktower and became the first nesting eagle in over 90 years in the state. The re-introduced eagles were immensely successful. Lake Monroe specialists now say that there are 10 nesting pair on Monroe alone. Look for the upcoming book 'A Hope for Wings' on the program.
