January 13, 200619 yr All kidding aside, it is absolutely breath-taking to see a bald eagle in the wild. If you haven't ever done so, make the trek up to Lake Erie over the next few months as the bald eagles mate and hatch their young. Bring a good telescope or set of binoculars (preferably with a tripod to keep the image steady. I saw a pair of them several years ago near Camp Perry and it was amazing seeing these birds fly back and forth bringing food back to these huge nests up in the trees. I had the privilege several years ago in Nebraska at Desoto Bend National Park to see one up close as it was released back into the wild after recovering from an injured wing. Makes your heart pound when it's head turns around and focuses those eyes on you. You sort of get the feeling what it must be like to be prey. Yikes!

You mean Delaware State Park is not good enough anymore? (maybe they don't have any Eagles this year) ;-)
January 13, 200619 yr Forgive me for that omission. Delaware State Park and several other inland locations (mostly near lakes) are also good eagle watching spots. I beleiev Delaware has two nests now.
February 3, 200619 yr Brecksville Reservation site attracts new couple: eagles Friday, February 03, 2006 John C. Kuehner Plain Dealer Reporter Brecksville -- A pair of courting eagles are building a nest along the west bank of the Cuyahoga River in Brecksville. Naturalists and biologists hailed the news because it is the first eagle's nest recorded in Cuyahoga County in at least 70 years. What's also remarkable is that the eagles -- members of a species known for being picky about where they nest and eat -- are using the Cuyahoga River as their main source of food, which is another sign of the waterway's comeback.

The Black Swamp Bird Observatory led a workshop yesterday to help volunteers identify and count the migrating raptors, or carnivorous birds, during the next three months. Conservation of the birds' habits along Lake Erie's marshland is one of the primary motivators behind the project, which generates data used to help implement parts of the U.S. Clean Water Act.

February 14, 200619 yr Eagle closer to losing 'endangered' status Tuesday, February 14, 2006 John Heilprin Associated Press Washington- The American bald eagle, after battling back from the threat of extinction because of habitat loss and the pesticide DDT, took another step Monday toward coming off the endangered species list. The Interior Department's Fish and Wildlife Service issued draft voluntary guidelines spelling out how landowners, land managers and others should protect the bird once it no longer is safeguarded by the 1973 Endangered Species Act.

March 23, 200619 yr No-egg nest for Westerville eagles? Eaglets unlikely this spring with young female growing increasingly inattentive to the nest, volunteers fear. By ANGIE SCHMITT The pair of bald eagles that found a home in Westerville this winter won't be adding any eaglets this spring, say volunteers monitoring the nest site. Officials from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources had high hopes that first-time nesting couple would have a successful group of hatchlings, when they were spotted renovating a red-tailed hawk's nest behind a business northwest of Cleveland Avenue and County Line Road in December.

January 21, 200718 yr FROM THE STUMP Eagles no longer difficult to spot in Ohio Sunday, January 21, 2007 JOHN SWITZER It used to be a stroke of good luck to see a bald eagle in the wild in Ohio. Now it’s almost as easy as falling off a log, and believe me, I’ve fallen off plenty of logs. During the recent Mid Winter Eagle Survey by the Ohio Division of Wildlife and volunteers, 410 eagles were found wintering in Ohio. Not all the reports have been turned in, so there might be another 10 to 30 eagle sightings. More at: http://dispatch.com/news-story.php?story=dispatch/2007/01/21/20070121-C2-00.html
May 24, 200718 yr Eagles return to Cuyahoga Valley Bald twosome plus hatchling set up by the river Thursday, May 24, 2007 Laura Johnston Plain Dealer Reporter Brecksville -- The last time bald eagles hatched in Cuyahoga County, FDR was in the White House and the country was mired in the Great Depression. Now, 70 years later, a newly hatched national symbol huddles in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. "It's a real exciting time for the park," said interpretive ranger Paul Motts, standing on the Towpath Trail across the Cuyahoga River from the birds' home. "It just shows our great efforts in trying to preserve areas like this." More at: http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/cuyahoga/1179995460315830.xml&coll=2
March 14, 200817 yr Two-day-old eagle survives snowstorm Posted by Donna J. Miller March 14, 2008 14:05PM Ohio's first eaglet of 2008 hatched March 6 in Huron County and survived last weekend's snowstorm, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources announced today. "As is their habit, the eagle pair took turns sheltering their nest during the blizzard," said Mark Shieldcastle, who oversees the Division of Wildlife's eagle restoration project. "It's remarkable that such a young hatchling could survive that kind of severe weather - and a tribute to the parenting of the adult birds."

February 18, 200916 yr Bald eagles find Southwest Ohio hospitable again By Elaine Trumpey • [email protected] • February 13, 2009 http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20090213/NEWS01/902130368/ The bald eagle is returning to Southwest Ohio. The first reported nest in Butler County in modern times has been confirmed on Martin Marietta Materials property in Ross Township, according to state wildlife officials. Many years ago, the majestic birds were plentiful in this area, said Kathy Garza-Behr, wildlife communications specialist for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
February 18, 200916 yr A pair is building a nest near Eastwood Metropark near downtown Dayton too. I'll look up the Dayton Daily article and share later.
