A few years after the DDT ban, once levels in the food chain had dwindled, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources began reintroducing breeding pairs to Ohio wilderness parks. I saw my first wild bald eagle in the 1990's. Now I see them every year.
They nest all around this state. Everywhere in Ohio is eagle country. Once again it is possible to hear the cry of an eagle and see the flash of white in the sky that lets you know the United States' national bird is flying over head. | | Positive | ic_conifers | On Jul 31, 2009, ic_conifers from Iowa City, IA

When I moved to Iowa from New York City, I didn't really believe my new friends that I would see bald eagles in the wild in winter. However, they are hear and there are lots of them! They like to gather around dams for the easy pickings of fish. |
