Eagles Rising Amid Human Threats | Columbus News

Two bald eagles are fighting for survival at the Ohio Wildlife Center—one a young eagle electrocuted and injured, possibly needing feather grafts to fly again, and the other a mature eagle killed by a car crash with spinal and lead poisoning. A nearby chick, possibly its offspring, is now recovering from a fall. Despite Ohio’s remarkable eagle comeback—with over 900 active nests last year—these birds still face deadly human-caused threats like power lines and roads. The center is hopeful the injured juvenile can heal and return to the wild, offering a second chance to a species once nearly lost in the state.
