If you don't have cliffs in your area then look near a stream. They like to be near water. The Colonials close by have to be a draw for them a good food source. There have never been eagles in this area till the last 3-5 years. From the Mississippi River they are following the smaller rivers & creeks upstream. We have a pair of eagles outside of our town & their nest is near a fish hatchery with a stream running near by. They have 3 eggs this spring. Our local college & radio shack have installed a camera & sound up by the nest so we can go on line & watch the eagles. They even have a night camera.
