Since the first census records were kept of the Bald Eagle, the national bird of the U.S., in the 1800s there has been a continuous decline in their population. Bald Eagles were endangered in 43 states and threatened in five. However, the Bald Eagle was relatively abundant only in Alaskan and Canadian wilderness areas. Historically, Bald Eagles had been observed in all of the United States except Hawaii.
Man is the Bald Eagle's main enemy and predator. During migration, breeding, and winter periods the Bald Eagle requires a large home range area, leaving itself vulnerable to habitat destruction by man. Also environmental problems have decreased the population of bald eagles. The most serious ones are pollution by pesticides and heavy metals that contaminate streams and fish, in turn stopping the Bald Eagle's food chain.
During the 1940s, the number of hatched eaglets recorded by field biologists rapidly declined. This was because of a fatal eggshell thinning that was the result from exposure to DDE a metabolic by product of DDT which is a organochlorinated pesticide. The eagles received this pesticide mainly through the fish they ate because the rivers were contaminated by the poison.
In nationwide autopsies of dead birds collected by federal, state, and private cooperators, federal government pathologists routinely found DDT, DDE, dieldrin, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other pesticide and insecticide residues in Bald Eagle carcasses. Because of all the pesticides that killed these magnificent birds in the 1960's the Bald Eagle was named America's most polluted Bird. A nation wide ban was made on the use of DDT, there was an increase in wildlife protection and rehabilitation efforts, more field studies and a captive program that have aided in the recovery of this species.
The National Wildlife Federation and the National Audubon Society have mounted publicity campaigns to inform the public about the sad history of the bald eagle. Federal and state wildlife and game officials have also been leaders in establishing bald eagle future recovery plans and management. The San Diego Zoo and other zoos nation wide continue to aid the efforts to preserve this species.
They walk the streets at night, they go where they will dare. They pick up every movement, they pick up every loser, with jaded eyes and features, but no one knows if they really care.

There is no such thing as an eaglets nest it would be considered an eagles nest.

You will never meet Eaglet.To start the quest "Eaglets' Dinner(100qp) [Novice]"you'll have to complete the quest "Anabelle's Nest".Anabelle is on Vine Isle. Complete her nest quest, and return to her. She'll ask you to find some food or her eaglets, which will start the quest "Eaglets' Dinner".
No. As of 4/18/11, all three eaglets are alive and well.
After about 6 weeks of being with their Parents the Baby Eagles are pushed out of their nest to go on their own.Actually, baby eagles, or eaglets, stay in the nest until at least 11-12 weeks of age. The parents feed the babies until they leave the nest permanently. Even if the eaglets can fly well, they quite often keep coming back to the nest or stay in the area while the parents continue to feed them. Only occasionally will the parents 'kick a baby' out of the nest. Even when they do, they still care for them until they finally leave permanently.Read more: How_long_do_baby_eagles_remain_in_the_nest
Wet lands or sea coast. yes i agree with that answer. herons are also grey and white, so they are different from eaglets which are totally white.

Eagles mostly nest once a year in late winter to early spring. The normal number of eaglets in the nest is two.
