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...

Unfortunately Willow, it was only protected by laws concerning the endangered species and those laws no longer apply to the bald eagle since it's not on the list anymore...

I will make a thread about this with a news article, but I don't want to take over Marilyn's thread since it's about NOT reading the news, lol.

Sorry Marilyn. I originally mentioned this as a positive thing and didn't mean for it to become negative like this...
