In the UK, the National eagle survey in Scotland pulled this same trick in order to hide a golden eagle population being rapidly killed off by wind energy. Except in Scotland, RSPB called their version of our citizen scientists, "volunteers" and "dedicated amateur field workers."

This nonscientific survey methodology works out very well for a wind industry wanting hide their carnage and having plans to stuff hundreds of eagle killing turbines on Lake Erie. With shills, citizen scientists, volunteers and dedicated amateurs counting the same eagle nests several times, it can appear that there are plenty of bald eagles and a green wind industry won't be wiping them out .

They claim there is a bald eagle nest in every 2 by 3 or 6 sq mile area of Ottawa County. This is a calculated fraud. In addition Ohio is now claiming nearly 3 times the number of bald eagle nests as Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania claims that there are currently about 250-280 pairs now nesting in a given year. (see image) Look close at Erie County, PA on the map/image. About 20 bald eagle nests are being reported in the only county in PA, with Lake Erie Shoreline. This works out to one eagle nest for every 80 square miles.

Erie County PA, with 20 bald eagle nests is almost the same size as all the three Ohio counties where ODNR is fraudulently reporting 172 nesting pairs.

New credible surveys, especially in Erie,Ottawa and Sandusky counties should be conducted by independent experts. In addition each active nest should be documented with a time stamped image showing occupancy.

In these counties there is no better bald eagle habitat than on the nearby islands. Look close at Kelly's island and start counting. It won't take long to expose all the ODNR fraudsters.

Three counties were not even verified. Most likely the three counties with this highest fake numbers. But in reality none have been verified by credible people.

Wildlife agencies have been lying for decades to protect wind energy interests. They even produced a fake study from around Altamont that said 282 nesting pairs of eagles were located in an area when only 11 could be verified. I did research in this area and know what an incredible agency lie this is.

For the sake of comparison I have included an area equal in size from California. This is an area with this state's highest density of nesting bald eagles. This region has approximately 35 nesting pairs. In this three county region from the Ohio, with similar numbers of people, ODNR is claiming over 5 times the eagle population with 172 active nesting pairs.
