Audubon volunteers in Pinellas County say it's the time of year when bald eagles typically start returning to the Bay area. If all of the eagles they monitored last year return, there will be more than two-dozen nests in Pinellas County. Barb Walker, a volunteer with Audubon of Florida's "Eagle Watch," says official nesting season starts Oct. 1, but our area is already seeing some action. "We've seen the eagles filtering in since mid August," Walker said. "It's not unusual, but the number of eagles that have returned in mid August seems to be a little bit greater then in years past."
