Marilyn, I read that as well and it made me sad...apparently there was a big push from property owners who want to be able to do as the please and destroy eagle habitats that caused the bald eagle to be removed from the endangered species list in the first place...
I was trying to focus on the positive aspect which is that they've recovered from 417 mating pairs to over 10,000 in the past 40 years due to legislation and the elimination of DDTs...
