Symbol of a comeback Bald eagle removed from endangered list
The United States will remove the bald eagle from the federal endangered species list after a restoration heralded by DDT ban and habitat protection. Officials note the rapid eagle resurgence from 417 breeding pairs in 1963 to 5 748 pairs, with continued monitoring and a lingering 1940 law protecting raptors. Local residents enjoy nesting eagles along Clinton Lake and the Kansas River in Lawrence.
