Citation Needed
I'm a new user here, so I apologize if I'm not formatting this correctly, but there doesn't appear to be any citations for the statement "..but by the 1950s there were only 412 nesting pairs in the 48 contiguous states of the US." in the "Population Decline and Recovery" section. Cursory googling hasn't shown me any solid sources. I did find this page that makes the claim for the early 1960's: http://www.dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/baldeagle/pastsurveys.html but for all I know they may have pulled that number from wikipedia.

Need Updated Range Map
The map (from Sibley, 2000) is badly out of date. Substantial numbers of bald eagles are now nesting, for example, along the Delaware River https://www.state.nj.us/drbc/edweb/bald-eagle.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.255.91.2 (talk) 23:44, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
- Absolutely. I live 3 miles from the river on the NY side at Barryville. We see eagles all year long here. I go to Lackawaxen Pa quite often to go for a stroll and take in the scenery, and see eagles almost every time I am there, regardless of season. 2603:7000:D400:665D:754D:2D00:F202:AA46 (talk) 15:42, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Not because it isn't an apex predator -- it is one of the most famous as such -- but because all eagles are apex predators. Pbrower2a (talk) 03:16, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

In the first paragraph of the section "population decline and recovery", please remove the part "Later illegal shooting was described as ...... ollisions in flight as the leading causes of eagle deaths.", and remove citation 161 because the source used is not a reliable source. It is from Steven Milloy who as stated in his article is a lobbyist for tobacco, fossil fuel and chemical companies, and has promoted the "Rachel Carson killed millions" by getting DDT banned denialist propaganda. [3][4]
He is not a reliable source for most topic in general as he denies Climate change, ozone depletion, health risk of second hand smoke, among other crankery. Hence please remove that section.
Thank you! 2409:4042:4CC1:BA6:56A:2688:1585:6737 (talk) 19:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- My first though upon looking at this was to agree completely, Milloy is obviously not a neutral observer here. However, the piece in question cites it's own sources, the National Wildlife Federation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecology (journal) and others. He is obviously pro-DDT, but in this particular case he seems to have researched his points very thoroughly. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Beeblebrox:I think it would be better to use the reports from the National Wildlife Federation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as citations if that is what those reports actually say(as milloy didn't provide links to those reports; so he could be misinterpreting them), instead of using a propogandist who would cherry pick ,misrepresent and promote outright false claims. Also the bald eagle page of the National Wildlife Federation does cite DDT as a threat to their population alongside other chemical pollutants such as mercury, persistent organic chemicals, heavy metals.
- Now those mentioned factors like shooting, electrocution, habitat loss also contributed to the decline of bald eagle, but that doesn't mean DDT can be dismissed as a cause, which the piece in question does. So for now I think it would be better to remove Milloy's article as a source and add the clarification to reliable source tag. 2409:4042:4CC1:BA6:419B:E2ED:1E8E:CBEA (talk) 06:08, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- I removed Milloy, Steven (July 6, 2006). "Bald Eagle". Fox News. Archived from the original on January 18, 2008. Retrieved January 3, 2008., "Bald Eagle-DDT Myth Still Flying High" is a coatrack for DDT doubt mongering from a infotainment agency, Fox, and added citation needed to the sentence. ~ cygnis insignis 13:57, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Citation Needed?
This sentence in the Behavior section has no citation and seems suspect: "Bounty hunters shooting from helicopters opined that they were far more difficult to hunt while flying than golden eagles as they would turn, double back or dive as soon as approached." Pretty sure that would be a poacher, not a bounty hunter! 2600:1700:E920:B3E0:5591:1841:A52B:2F0 (talk) 04:38, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
Population decline…
There is a sentence that says “ In 1930 a New York City ornithologist wrote that in the state of Alaska in the previous 12 years approximately 70,000 bald eagles had been shot.”
Since Alaska did not become a state until 1959, you might consider rephrasing to something like “……… ornithologist wrote that in the territory of Alaska in the previous …………” 172.58.43.126 (talk) 14:59, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Done I checked the reference, and it makes no mention of state vice territory, so I changes the article as you suggested. (Note that if the reference had specifically said state, I would have left it and made a different comment here.) - UtherSRG (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
cite templates
Whew! I was WP:BOLD and just did a massive overhauling of the references to ensure they are all in cite templates. I made some decisions along the way, such as using {{cite journal}}
for PhD dissertations and thesis. Someone should double check what I did. Cheers! UtherSRG (talk) 18:30, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Federal Protections
I see talk of listing and delisting from Endangered species list, but shouldn’t there be a section that at least briefly discusses the eagle specific federal protections and penalties against harm etc. 2601:14F:4501:3320:0:0:0:86F4 (talk) 06:13, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
