Species Not As Endangered

Bald Eagles are back!

America's iconic national bird, the bald eagle, has made an impressive comeback from its days as an endangered species. But its leading threats remain rooted in human activity, the most comprehensive study ever of bald eagle mortality in Michigan finds.  -- From the Freep.

The study, published in April in The Journal of Wildlife Management, recommends;

  • moving road-killed animal carcasses to the far edge of rights of way,
  • a further transition from lead ammunition and fishing tackle to nontoxic alternatives.

Anyone encountering a dead or injured bald eagle is asked to contact Michigan's Wildlife Division at
