🦅 GOOD NEWS: America’s National Bird Thriving in the Buckeye State
😍 Ohio can celebrate a milestone this Independence Day with 964 confirmed active bald eagle nests. 🎉
➡️ More than 1,800 reports from citizen scientists statewide helped complete the 2025 bald eagle nest census. Our staff followed up on these reports and confirmed nest locations in 87 of Ohio’s 88 counties.
➡️ Active nests were counted as those with an incubating eagle, eggs, or eaglets present. Given the high volume of nests, this nest census represents the most complete picture possible of Ohio’s breeding bald eagle population.
