Ohio's bald eagle population is continuing to grow. The most recent nest count completed this year shows a 10.5% increase from 2022.
"That gave us an estimate of 910 nests within the state for 2023," says Laura Kearns, a wildlife biologist with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. "That's good. That's a healthy increase. Last year, we had only an increase of 2%."
Kearns says the smaller percentage in 2022 may be related to last year's avian flu outbreak.
