Bald Eagle Permits
On August 9, 2007, the bald eagle was removed from the
federal list of threatened and endangered species. The
bald eagle continues to be protected under the Bald and Golden
Eagle Protection Act. Regulations provided under that Act allow
the Service to issue permits for activities that may harm or
disturb bald eagles and their nests.
