WARREN COUNTY, Ohio - For the first recorded time Bald eagles have been spotted nesting in Warren County.

While the birds of prey have been seen in the area before they usually continue their migration farther north before nesting.

Eagles normally follow the Little Miami River as part of their migration pattern. Jessica Heffner of Dayton Daily News spoke with Kathy Garza-Behr, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Wildlife, about the animals.

"We've expected to probably have an eagle's nest in the area and it appears this pair has decided to call Warren County home," Garza-Behr said.

Though Ohio and federal laws prohibit the catching, harassing, killing or wounding of an eagle, bird watchers are excited to know that the eagles will be hanging around for a while.
