Recovered eagle provides new data to DNR A banded bald eagle re- covered near Vincennes gave DNR personnel a chance to measure the suc- cess of bald eagle reintro- duction in Indiana over the past 20 years. On Sept. 30, a wild bird rehabilitator, responding to a call about an injured bald eagle, arrived to find the bird deceased. A clos- er look revealed that the ea- gle wore two bands – one on each leg – inscribed with numbers and a letter. A fter the bands were reported to ReportBand.gov and DNR state ornithologist Allisyn Gillet was contacted, parts of the eagle's history were revealed. Bald eagle H81 was band- ed as a nestling at Hovey Lake Fish & Wildlife Area on April 20, 1998. That year, DNR biologists were close- ly tracking nesting eagles to monitor how the population was growing after the suc- cessful bald eagle reintro- duction program. Bald eagles were listed as endangered when Indiana began its reintroduction pro- gram in 1985. The program took place over five years, when 73 young eagles were released at Monroe Lake to form the base of a new pop- ulation of nesting eagles. A fter these birds grew up and returned to nest in In- diana, biologists kept track of the number of nests and the number of young in each nest. Nestling eagles were given a set of leg bands so they could be identified in the future. The year H81 was born, Indiana had 11 success- ful eagle nests, and 20 ea- glets survived long enough to leave the nest. Indiana's eagle population has been steadily growing, and in 2019, over 300 bald eagle nests were reported. Bald eagles were removed from the federal list of en- dangered species in 2007 and from the state list in 2008. Although this was the first time that H81 was re- ported since she was band- ed 21 years ago, it is likely that she was nesting in this area for years, possibly on the Wabash or the White River south of Vincennes. The clean water and healthy numbers of fish in these riv- ers provide a home to many pairs of nesting eagles each year. The bald eagle reintro- duction program was the first endangered species restoration project initiat- ed by DNR Nongame and Endangered Wildlife staff. This project and ongoing research would not be pos- sible without donations to the Indiana Nongame Wild- life Fund, the main fund- ing source of all nongame and endangered species re- search and management.
