Because of DDT birds would lay eggs without shells. Bald eagles became extinct in all states except Florida and Alaska. Pelicans became extinct in Louisiana. After DDT was banned a number of birds were introduced to their historic homelands from Florida and the few other places where they had survived.
Since DDT was banned, the population of bald eagles has increased, and the species has been moved from the endangered list to the threatened list. The population increased by about 15% during the first ten years after DDT was banned.
