Bald eagle recovery cited with policy critique
The piece notes an 8 percent annual rising bald eagle population in the lower 48 states reaching over 11,000 pairs, plus 50,000 eagles in Alaska. It links delisting from the Endangered Species Act to recovery while criticizing ESA penalties that deter landowners and citing Ed Contoski's 2006 court win to remove the eagle from ESA. It calls for a new approach favoring voluntary conservation.
