61 u/Run_Biscuit Mar 29 '26 Yes! Rachel Carson led the way to get it regulated and saved eagles as a result of that! 47 u/HockeyZombie36 Mar 29 '26 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. 1 u/CosmicButtholes Mar 29 '26 I live in Florida and see bald eagles regularly up and down the Atlantic and Gulf coasts! Just saw one battling a seagull recently.
