- decepticrat, on 11/15/2007, -0/+15Refreshing in light of all the bad news we're bombarded with each day.
- TheFu, on 11/15/2007, -1/+14False. Just because an animal is off the endangered species list does not mean you can hunt them. Besides, eagles are raptors and it's illegal to kill/harm a raptor, endangered or not.
- aigulf, on 11/15/2007, -0/+12I'm digging you down. Not because I disagree with you, but because I could not see any point in your statement. You said you always find it amusing when you hear about the bald eagle population coming back...but you never really said why. Just commented that your neighbor has 8 in his tree...is that supposed to be a lot or a little? Also, that it's the 'most' you've seen in there, 'at least'. Huh? Those two comments kinda negate each other. One implies that it's usually 8...which one is it? Are you trying to say that the population has always been strong? or is it constantly threatened?
- drgruney, on 11/15/2007, -1/+12Clever girl.
- theblooms, on 11/15/2007, -1/+7Like the American alligator, it never really was ever endangered, just threatened.
- masterofgrond, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6I, for one, welcome our new Bald Eagle overlords.
- vroom101, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6U.S. Bald Eagle...Coming Home!

via http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-20040603.htm - inactive, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6My window facing the lake darkened slightly, and a shadow crossed my face. When I looked, a young eagle was chasing American Coots and a group of ducks, trying to isolate one for a long, heavy lunch. A huge wingspan, they move like you would imagine a WWII bomber, cutting a huge arc in the sky, then rapidly losing altitude and skimming the water. The Coots and ducks were too smart, this time - they group tightly and dived under the water to avoid being captured. Eventually tiring, but not nearly as quickly as you'd think, the eagle flew to the top of a huge white pine and settled near its huge nest.
- getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -0/+4Birds of prey are awesome.
- skyfire1, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4This is great news.
- Gugel, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I saw a bald eagle this summer on the Northeast coast. They've really made a remarkable comeback.
- sjbdallas, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I prefer eating bald eagles so I don't get hair in my teeth.
- mtxrawkus, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I know what I'm eating for thanksgiving!
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3Thanks! I'll get on that article and change the date to November to make this article look more current.
- 1b2a, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3You can't fathom this bird's badassness until you are a few feet from them. MASSIVE! Yes, that is what she said.
- fcukbush, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3Nice to hear... being bald and nearly dead isn't that inspiring.
- MioTheGreat, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3And there's no Colbert to report on it!
Damn you, WGA! - Eggzb, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3now if we could only say the same for American democracy
- mlfoley, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2Hopefully they'll start to flourish again - and hopefully, America will flourish again!
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2Agreed.
- theblooms, on 11/15/2007, -1/+3It's not great news that a landowner can make use of the land he owns without government telling him what he can and can't do on his own land? Sorry, but that IS great news.
- tehbored, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2... and also try not to shoot too many.
- theblooms, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2The point he was making is that in Canada and Alaska, they were, are, and always have been plentiful. While it is true that the birds were getting rare in the Lower 48, up north, they are common.
But yeah, I understand your confusion. He worded it REALLY strangely. - fcukbush, on 11/15/2007, -1/+3Who are you? captain ***** pedantic semantic?
- Fizban140, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2I doubt it, they seem to be very picky about where they live. If an area is too noisy they will either move away or the eggs will not hatch (can't remember which).
- Scottat2, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2Old news.. also they are are national bird. Which makes it illegal to kill too. Killing one is a federal crime. Why the #$#% would you kill one anyways
- Kestral, on 11/15/2007, -1/+3When I lived in Alaska for awhile, there were lots of bald eagles. They spent most of their time fighting over garbage in the dumpster behind the McDonald's. So kind of a fitting symbol.
- JLecker, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2Awesome news, but they were taken off the list in June. So saith the article and the Wikipedia entry for bald eagles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_eagle - mlfoley, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2Hopefully they'll start to flourish again - and hopefully, America will flourish again!
- AlbinoRaven, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2"What does bald eagle taste like?"
"Well, it's a cross between spotted owl and a jaguar."
"Sounds delicious!" - postaldave, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1using the Interstate commerce Clause is what got the country into the mess that it is now. try again.
- Dustmuffins, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2I don't care...
- MrSlumberjack, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1Bald Eagle Feces?
- xGeneric, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2Decimating the population of a national icon is a pretty bad disgrace. It's good to see the bird off the list.
Now, we gotta work on taking Democracy of the endangered list. - inactive, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1Isn't it illegal to kill the USs national bird?
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2It's rumored Dick Cheney's favorite order-out food item is bald eagle drumsticks. He has a hearty appetite.
- mcflynnthm, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1http://www.robandelliot.cycomics.com/archive.php?i ...
Yep, you're good. - NYC83, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2thanks for the info
- theblooms, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1(By the way, there are WAY too many ***** alligators now. If you live where they live, you can easily attest to this!)
- hammerattack, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1I think he's Captain ***** Right. You would therefore be Prince Oblivious.
- mcducks, on 11/15/2007, -2/+3this just means that developers can tear down bald eagles nests legally now. not really great news if you ask me.
- LittleDas, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1Beautiful pictures
And those ones of the eagles hunting remind me of why it's the national bird
it's such a badass predator
kinda reminds me of this T-shirt
http://www.goodstorm.com/item/sean_morrisey/try_an ... - siddhartha1138, on 11/15/2007, -2/+3I heard Ron Paul eats bald eagle egg omelets everyday for breakfast! He mixes DDT with his tabasco and puts it on top!
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2Now let's all eat some delicious eagle to celebrate!
- NYC83, on 11/15/2007, -3/+4which means that hunters will now be allowed to start killing them...how long before they're back on the list...
- LittleDas, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1http://www.goodstorm.com/item/sean_morrisey/try_an ...
stupid link system - rationalist, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1Even a millipede can take only one first step.
- vuke69, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1Strike two
- ToasterHead219, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1wonder what the next bad news will be? "Cheney shoots bald eagles raised for canned hunts!"
- DMCer, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2Does the fact that some animals are illegal to hunt ever stop poachers from killing them?
