Eagle numbers on upswing
The bald eagle, an American icon, has made a remarkable comeback.
When the nation began, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that the country had as many as 100,000 nesting eagles. But habitat was lost through development, and large raptors were considered nuisances by farmers and ranchers who routinely shot them to protect their poultry and livestock.
Aerial fight turns deadly for raptors
The St. Mary Eagles compete in high school, the Eastern Michigan University Eagles field teams for collegiate sports, and the Philadelphia Eagles occupy second place in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference.
But long before competitive sports made their arrival in North America, bald eagles were competing in the heavens for rights over their hunting territories.
