"Bald Eagles Continue To Soar in Kentucky"

"Bald eagles continue to expand in Kentucky, extending a steady increase in breeding pairs especially during the last decade.

Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources biologists counted 131 occupied nests this year, up from 123 last year and 42 in 2005. That's a 212 percent increase.

The state just issued its annual report on bald eagles, and it notes that there were 13 new territories where they had not been documented in previous years. Several of those were in Eastern Kentucky."
