Eagle may fly off endangered list
In what is likely to be hailed as one of the greatest conservation success stories of the last 50 years, sources say the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is poised to finalize the delisting of the bald eagle from ‘threatened’ status under the Endangered Species Act.
Audubon will be releasing data from its century old Christmas Bird Count database showing that after having gone nearly extinct in the lower 48, populations have risen in every state. The numbers provide firm confirmation of the FWS figures and underscore this achievement. They will be posted soon at Audubon.org along with photos and other multimedia.
