    What three U.S. federal statutes protect the Bald Eagle from being killed or wounded?

    Question #96837. Asked by BRY2K. (Jun 21 08 6:22 AM)

    		2001 -- The bald eagle is afforded protection under three federal statutes. The Eagle Protection Act, The Endangered Species Act of 1973, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Killing or wounding an eagle is a violation of all three acts.

    NOTE: Currently, the bald eagle is protected by only two federal statutes: On June 28, 2007 the Interior Department took the American bald eagle off the Endangered Species List. The bald eagle will still be protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

    Who was killed when an eagle mistook his bald head for a stone?

    Yesterday, on my local public radio station, I heard a story that said the number of bald eagle nests in Illinois has increased from only 2 to roughly 100, but no further explanation was given. Is this increase due to an actual increase in the overall bald eagle population or have these birds just migrated from somewhere else that (presumably) became unlivable for them?

    Was the choice of the bald eagle as a national U.S. emblem inspired by medieval examples such as Charlemagne's imperial eagle?
