Bald eagles have grown their ranks in recent years, recovering from low numbers and increasing their population to over 300,000 in the lower 48 states of the United States, according to a report released on Wednesday.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service “estimated 316,700 bald eagles were present in the four EMUs in the 2019 breeding season, 4.4 times more eagles than in 2009.” In 2007, the birds were removed from the list of Threatened and Endangered species after being at risk of extinction forty years ago.
