About 50,000 in Alaska alone. Probably another 40,000 in Canada. Maybe another 10,000 in the lower 48 states.
In 2007, it was estimated that in the lower 48 states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) there were 10,000 nesting pairs. That would be about 20,000 bald eagles.
The bald eagle population was estimated to be nearly 50,000 in Alaska alone in 2000, and with a doubling of the population every seven years, there has to be at least 200,000 in the US today.

We saw a "flock" of eagles circling over a nest area in Fort Worden State Park. There were 14. Normally we see only two pairs nesting in the area. Has anyone else seen anything like this?
YES
The population of the Bald Eagle in the US has recovered to the point it is no longer listed as an endangered species -- it is still protected, however. The low point was 417 breeding pairs. It is now estimated there are over 10,000 mating pairs, with at least one mating pair in each State.
Well, in 2007 the bald eagles were removed from the endangered species list, the lower point of bald eagles was 417 breeding pairs, it is now estimated that there are over 10,000 breeding pairs with at least 1 mating pair in each state. In some other answers it says there are 47,000 bald eagles left. Now the bald eagles are listed with a status of "threatened".
Due to conservation efforts the Bald Eagle is no longer considered to be an endangered species. There are now thousands of bald eagles and their population is now healthy and stable. They were taken off the endangered list in 2007.
Nesting pairs refer to a breeding behavior in certain animal species where two individuals, typically a male and a female, form a monogamous bond and share a specific location for nesting and raising their offspring. This arrangement often involves the construction of a nest and cooperative care of the young. Nesting pairs are commonly observed in various bird species, as well as some mammals and reptiles, and play a crucial role in the reproductive success and survival of their young.
The number of nesting pairs of Bald Eagles in the lower 48 states had increased from less than 500 in the early 1960's to over 10,000 in 2007. They had recovered sufficiently to delist them from Threatened status on June 28, 2007.
Bald Eagles don't live in groups they live in pairs of male and female with their young ones
flocks but not in nesting period, but then they form in flocks again.
Horace and Virgil
Bald eagles are classified as threatened and in Maryland they are too considered threatened although in Maryland that may change soon. As of 1977 there were only 44 pairs of breeding Bald Eagles as of 2004 there were 390 pairs.
This is typical pre-nesting behaviour. The budgies, in particular the female, are preparing the nesting box for nesting. Some pairs of budgies never successfully breed, but they still display all the signs and behaviour of wanting to nest.
