Where Have All the Eagles Gone? The bald eagle is a big, beautiful bird. It has a snow-white head. The eagle's wingspread is more than 2 metres. The bald eagle once lived near lakes and rivers in many parts of North America. But one year bird watchers found that fewer

and fewer eagle eggs were hatching. The bald eagle had become an endangered animal. It was in danger of disappearing. Why were these birds endangered? One reason is that people were cutting down many trees where eagles nested, or lived.

Also, people were using the chemical DDT to kill insects. The DDT was carried by the wind to lakes and rivers. When the mother eagle ate the fish from these waters, she also ate the DDT. This made the shells of her eggs so thin that they broke under her in the nest. Because of this, the eggs did not hatch.

Today, there is a law against using DDT. There are also laws that set aside places where animals can safely build their homes.
