     In Pennsylvania, the Bald Eagle is protected under the Pennsylvania Game and Wildlife Code. At the Federal level, the Bald Eagle is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Protection Treaty Act.
    DDT decimated Pennsylvania’s nesting bald eagle population in the 1950s and ‘60s. The recovery of the Bald Eagle has been one of the great wildlife conservation stories in the history of both the state and the nation. Pennsylvania’s nesting Bald Eagle population has increased steadily and dramatically in recent years. As recently as 1980, the state’s known nesting population numbered only three pairs. Currently there are 268 known nests in Pennsylvania.
      The success of Bald Eagles in Pennsylvania is directly related to improvements in environmental quality; Eagles are dependent on good water and riparian forest quality and subsequent fish availability. The Bald Eagle’s recovery is a victory for the Endangered Species Act and much more.  
     The Bald Eagle was removed from the Federal Endangered Species list in 2007 and it’s Pennsylvania status was changed to Protected in 2014. Each year, Eagle nest success hovers around 70 percent, which signals that environmental conditions and protections have been successful.
