The water level Starve Hollow Lake in southern Indiana is being lowered and Bald Eagles are showing up to take advantage of the easy fishing. The water level is being lowered to reduce the population of a nuisance fish in the lake.
As many as 17 individual eagles have been spotted on the lake at one time, meaning the area population is healthy at around 25 birds. Birdwatchers from the region have come to the lake to watch the Bald Eagles feasting on fish.

The eagles are expected to stay in the area until February.
