I'm shocked that Bald Eagles are on your wish list. Depending on where you live in central Kentucky, you can get to a bunch of good Bald Eagle locales in under 7 hours drive. Head west to the Mississippi River. I just saw one sitting in a corn field the other day. This is my favorite spot for Bald Eagles and Waterfowl: http://www.fws.gov/Refuge/Mingo/wild...rd_counts.html
74 Eagles were counted at Mingo two weeks ago (I only saw 15)!
