Ohio Has More than 950 Active Bald Eagle Nests Across the State, Wildlife Division Says
- The Ohio Division of Wildlife announced that the number of active bald eagle nests across the state has risen to 964 in 2025, reflecting a 36% growth since 2020.
- This growth follows decades of recovery after the bald eagle was designated as endangered and protected under the 1973 Endangered Species Act, with just a handful of nesting pairs present in Ohio by 1979.
- The 2025 nest census, compiled from over 1,800 citizen scientist reports, showed nests in 87 of Ohio’s 88 counties, with concentrations in Ottawa, Sandusky, and Erie counties.
- The nest success rate in spring 2025 was 78%, slightly lower than last year's 82%, with an average of 1.3 eaglets per active nest this year compared to 1.6 last year.
- The expanding bald eagle population highlights conservation success but faces risks from potential habitat protections changes proposed by the Trump Administration affecting the Endangered Species Act.

Bald Eagles Are Thriving. Could Trump Change That?
It was only a few decades ago that the bald eagle, which has long been an American icon, was on the brink of extinction. Its comeback is largely credited to the Endangered Species Act, a 1973 law that established protections for threatened species—including the bald eagle. “The bald eagle has been a poster child for the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act,” says Bill Bowerman, professor of wildlife ecology and toxicology at the Universit…
