Here's more proof that Bald Eagles have moved into the Bluffton area. Bluffton University student Josh Stallings took this photo of a eagle yearling (1 year old) on State Route 103 in November. He said that the eagle's nest was in a tree on the north side of the road. The photo was taken with a cell phone somewhere between State Route 235 and Jenera.
