No, but they used to be endangered in 2007. Several factors have made them endangered. One is people building and taking up areas where they nested. When DDT was in use it got into the food chain and affected the eagle population. Eggs that were produced with a thin shell and made the eggs crack when the bird tried to sit on them.
