I couldn't get the link. I hope they don't remove Bald Eagles from threatened status especially with The Petty island situation in the Delaware river. Sarah

maybe this will work. click on bill text.

do you have a local audubon society working on petty island? i am not fully informed by it, but the fight for plum island may have been similar, except the development wasn't fully in the works, and being a small town area there was less consumerism, as well as being located adjacent to a state park.

also, regarding status: http://www.animallaw.info/administrative/adus64fr36453.htm

Now I got it thanks. I sure hope they don't take them off the threatened list. I've not heard about Plum Island.Did that work out okay? Petty Island is a local concern In the middle of all this pollution a bald eagle couple set up house and reared an eaglet who was killed by someone hired by a real estate developer from North Carolina. And the Govenor wants to sell the Island to them I really wish it would get as much attention as Pale Male or even the Delaware oil spill. But only ocasionally are there articles in the newspaper and nothing on the local TV news. I called the New Jersey govenors office and wrote him a letter But of course I live across the river in Pa. Anyway here's a link to the basic info. Sarah
