The eagle population in Ohio continues to go up.

The mild temperatures of early January have made eagle viewing excellent this year. Open water has held Ohio birds and enticed northern birds to winter over, giving us a tremendous count this year.

Especially in the Spencer Lake area, keep your eyes peeled.

The assumption right now is that wild birds are vectors.

The act is stronger than the endangered species laws. There is no wiggle room.

There are more opportunities today than ever for Ohioans to observe bald eagles in the wild as the population of these magnificent birds continues to expand throughout the state.
