I am aware of 5 active Bald Eagle nests in Henderson County this year.
Sloughs WMA (Sauerheber Unit):
Gentle Pond (BIG nest) is used again this year
Anderson Pond is used again this year
Hardy Slough nest is larger and doing better than last year
Audubon Park Wetlands nest after being relocated last year is again active.
And the newest:

1/2 block from my home on the south edge of Henderson is a new Bald Eagle nest.
This one is causing some problems. It is located in a wooded area that is over 
Elam Ditch which was scheduled for clearing to help drainage of flooding areas 
of the city. Elam Ditch is not much of a ditch, more like a wet area that 
floods when heavy rains back up Canoe Creek. Most of the year it does not 
contain any water. Which makes this an unusual nest for the Bald Eagles. All 
other nests in the county are located over water.

I have not surveyed the county for Bald Eagle nests. There might be more. But 
these are the ones I am aware of.

Union County has 1 at Sloughs WMA Jenny Hole that I have confirmed. There is 
another that was used last year, but I have not checked it this year.
