The Upper Wabash Interpretive Services (UWIS) held their last Eagle Watch of the year on Feb. 27, starting at Salamonie Lake and traveling to several other locations. This is the 14th year UWIS has hosted these events. Locals of all ages gathered to see the birds in their natural habitat.
In this area, January and February are the best months to see many eagles at one time.
“They come to the reservoir area in the winter because we are always releasing water from the lakes, so there’s always fishing locations here,” Interpretive Naturalist Manager of UWIS Teresa Rody said.

Huntington County’s Interim Public Health Officer Dr. Matt Pflieger has created an informative video explaining why Huntington County is one of just three Indiana counties still “orange” on the state’s color-coded COVID-19 metrics map.
The video is available to view at the Huntington County Health Department’s Facebook page.
An “orange” status indicates a moderately high spread of the COVID-19 virus.
“You know why,” asks Pflieger in the video, “Because ‘Person A’ went to work sick.”
