BIRDS
Bald
eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
On August 9, 2007, the bald eagle was removed from the federal list of threatened and endangered species. Therefore, it is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act and Section 7 consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is not necessary. However, the bald eagle remains protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Click here to go to guidelines that were prepared to help landowners, land managers and others meet the intent of that Act and avoid disturbing bald eagles.
