Ohio’s bald eagle population has soared by 151 percent since the last statewide headcount eight years ago, wildlife officials announced Wednesday.
This year’s survey found 707 bald eagle nests, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). There were just 281 in 2012.
“The bald eagle is a symbol of American strength and resilience,” Gov. Mike DeWine said. “The eagle’s comeback in Ohio and across the country proves that we can overcome any challenge when we work together.”

I wonder what percentage of their nests are along rivers, streams, and lakes. The article mentioned in Arizona, the large animals were photographed nesting in a tall cactus which had not been verified “without photos” since the ‘30s (it must have meant with photos).
I would like to see the latest study of the Ohio’s eagles’ diets. I wonder if any pets or domestic animals are being taken.
Bald eagles in parts of Alaska are so numerous they are consider pests. They typically behave like a murder of crows. Also, bald eagles are occasionally carrion eaters.
Um, good. Tastes like chicken!!
Need more Rogaine.
The bald eagle is a rammed predator!!!
As such it is a nuisance and a pest and definitely a danger to pets and small livestock like sheep.
Ben Franklin’s turkey would not have been a better choice. I favor the bison.
Better yet , no pagan animal totem at all.
Occasionally carrion eaters they eat a lot of carrion.
They love road kill of any kind.
Throw a animal carcass out in the open around with in hours one will have eagles on it.
South of Carson City Nevada there is a large ranch where the bald eagles gather to eat afterbirths during calving season. They get fried on the power lines from time to time as well as get hit by vehicles. Mess your car up if you hit one.
The biggest killer of eagles here in Wis. are vehicles.
They sit on road kill and then fly up in front of vehicles.

Probably they clean up after the coyotes here in Ohio have had their fill. We have lots of coyotes here in Ohio. There were some eagles in the trees above Carrilon park in Dayton that people pre social distancing were lined up to photograph. We found out while we were in Montana, the way eagles get the eaglets to leave the nest is to stop feeding them. The parents leave the nest and hang out in other trees to watch their young eventually take the leap of faith. Cool.
There is a nest off I-75 just north of exit 78 on the right. It is in the trees across from the farmer’s field before the railroad tracks.
One off Stubbs Mill Rd in Morrow.
finally. perhaps the cost of bald eagle stew will come down to where i can order it without feeling guilty.
Tell that to the prey. Not a week goes by I find a pile of pigeon feathers are gore (not Al) in my yard. Call of the wild. Love it.
Larry have seen the cat he didn’t come last night.
I’ve seen lots of bald eagles in the Cincinnati area, including some nests. I watched 4 of them flying around when I was at a lake in the Camp Dennison area....had a juvenile bald eagle flying several feet above the ground in the opposite lane right next to my car window for 100 feet or so as I drove down a road (that was cool!) and most recently saw two sitting in a tree when I lived in Mariemont a couple of years ago. These were all in Hamilton County inside the I-275 loop.
I haven’t seen one now that I live 30 miles away from Cincinnati out in the boonies!
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

I have so many in my backyard I’m concerned about in flight crashes. They are beautiful animals - just wondering why it took 75 years to recover if DDT was the problem and that was banned back then.
That is so cool to see them flying in the wild in your backyard!
I'm right near a river, you can spot a few nests from boat, huge.
