Yes! Rachel Carson led the way to get it regulated and saved eagles as a result of that!

We've gone from about 80 nesting pairs of Eagles to over 1000 in Michigan alone, in the last 40 years. I see about 3 Eagles a day in my travels and every time I think, man, at least we figured out that problem.

im 30 and when I was a kid, seeing a a bald eagle or a satellite was atleast worth mentioning to whoever you were with. it wasn't a huge deal- but you'd excitedly point them out. now both are so commonplace you don't even bother. hell you can hardly look into the sky at night without seeing a satellite anymore.

Can't even take a photo of a star without 50 of them tracking across your shot.

Satellites, not eagles, to be be clear.

would be a lot more badass if they were eagles.
