YES!! The Eagle's are making a huge comeback too. There is a huge state park about 45 minutes west of me called Starved Rock and in the winter people go there by the hundred to see the bald eagles nesting there. Ive seen them flying overhead a few times in the last couple years.
We are over run with turky vultures in the summer too. I just love seeing them allI have seen one or two Osprey passing through on their migration as well. Man I wish I could get a shot of one of those. They are monsterous! Bigger than the vultures or eagles.
