Laptop Battery Nestled in the branches of a tree on the shore of Merrill Creek Reservoir is a sign that bald eagles are returning to a state where 20 years ago they had nearly vanished. High above the man-made lake, a pair of bald eagles have nested for the last four years and have hatched six chicks.
Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus Soar Like an Eagle The bald eagle may look bald from afar, but in reality it really is not bald at all. The eagle has white feathers on its head, neck and tail. "Bald" in this sense is actually a derivation of the Old English word "balde" which means white. So, our eagle was actually named for having white feathers instead of not having feathers! An American success story, bald eagles have been removed from the endangered species list. They are now considered threatened. Bald eagles build their nests in very tall and old trees, and their nest can weigh 1, 000 pounds or more and measure ten feet across. World Wildlife Fund works to protect old growth forests inhabited by bald eagles, policies surrounding the endangered species act, and to reduce toxins and pesticides that greatly affect the reproductive activities of bald eagles.

(AXcess News) Houston, the American Bald Eagle is near exiting the endangered species list, the US Fish and Wildlife Service today. Removal of the bald eagle from the endangered species list began back in 1999 when the American symbol of freedom, the bald eagle, looked like it was recovering in population, warranting its removal from the endangered species list. According to a census of mating pairs of american bald eagles taken in2000, the last year a national bald eagle census was conducted, there were an estimated 6, 471 nesting pairs of bald eagles. That compares to only 417 nesting pairs found in the lower 48 in 1963 when the bald eagle was placed on the endangered species list.

Notebooks State Division of Fish and Wildlife spokesman Al Ivany the big raptors presence at the northern reservoirs shows that the endangered species is beginning to thrive on its own.
Lenovo "Theyre expanding their range back in to these suitable areas which is a very positive sign," Ivany said.
Hard Drive Twenty years ago, there was one pair of bald eagles nesting in Bear Swamp in Cumberland County, he said.
Travelstar Development encroaching on eagles habitat and the environmental disaster caused by DDT had caused the population to collapse.
Gateway The pesticide, once used extensively in the United States, leached into waterways and accumulated in the bodies of fish, which the eagles fed on.
Laptop Parts The chemical caused the birds to lay eggs with thinner shells which were often crushed in the birds nests.
Software DDT was banned in the United States in 1972 and although it is still present in the environment, its effect on bald eagles eggs has lessened.
Hard Drives In 1982, New Jersey began an effort to reintroduce bald eagles to the southern part of the state, because of the abundance of woodlands and open water.
Electronics "Those broad marshy areas really provide a great source of food," Ivany said.
Canon Now 34 pairs of eagles nest in New Jersey and the restoration effort has ended.
Desktop Pc Ivany said the bald eagle population has returned to its level before human impact on the environment caused them to disappear.
Desktop Computers "I dont know that there are any records going back two or three hundred years but thats pretty close to what we think it might have been," Ivany said.
Think Pad Ivany said there may be more bald eagles nesting that state wildlife officials dont know about.
Repair The birds tend to make a home near bodies of water where a supply of fish and small mammals are available as food. It is possible that the birds could nest on private property.
Data Recovery He said that anyone who sees a bald eagle nest that wildlife officials might not know about should contact the state Division of Fish and Wildlife.
Cisco Although the federal government has upgraded bald eagles from endangered to threatened, the birds remain on New Jerseys endangered list and the state has no plans to remove them, Ivany said.
Keyboard State wildlife officials continue to monitor eagles and attach bands to the legs of young eagles before they leave their nests.
Monitor Bullis said the chicks at Merrill Creek will be examined, weighed and banded sometime in early May.
Desktop Bullis said the presence of eagles at Merrill Creek has made the lake more popular among bird watchers who already came to spot species like the common loon and the rough wing swallow, which migrates between North America and South America each year.
Infosys Merrill Creek Reservoir lies on the Atlantic flyway, a major migration route for many species of birds.
Refurbished Laptops Each January, the National Audubon Society holds an eagle count. This year bird watchers counted 149 bald eagles and two golden eagles along the Delaware River.
Wipro Although eagles do migrate, they only do so if there is a need, Bullis said. Migration is a mechanism that ensures the birds are always close to a source of food.
Lap Top The eagles nesting at Merrill Creek stay year round, because the reservoir provides a reliable source of food.
Refurbished "It is fantastic to have a resource like this here in Warren County," Bullis said. "We take seriously the stewardship of the property Merrill Creek owns."
