Subject: RE: Harassment of Wintering Bald Eagle Population on Island @ Conowingo Dam- Harford County
It is my understanding that NRP did investigate the situation and may have issued some citations (for what I am not sure). The bald eagle is no longer listed by the State as a threatened or endangered species. It came off the State’s list on April 5, 2010. It is now just another migratory bird. It still receives special protection from the federal government under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
For clarification, the Important Bird Area program is through the National Audubon Society and carries no regulatory protections. |
