Ohio wildlife researchers are asking residents to flock together, keep their eyes open and help find the state's growing population of bald eagles.
"This is a great opportunity to get outdoors and see this soaring raptor, all while providing a valuable conservation service to our state," ODNR Director Mary Mertz said in a statement.The ODNR wildlife staff will verify each submission and post the confirmed sightings and locations on its site.
The bird was close to extinction in 1979, when there were only four nesting pairs, ODNR said. Last year, there were more than 350, according to the agency.ONDR officials said the nests are most prominent in locations such as the western Lake Erie marsh region, the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area and Mosquito Creek Wildlife Area. They can also be found near the state's major rivers, according to researchers.
