		Bald Eagles are very sensitive to disturbance of their feeding and breeding areas by humans, and it is only in isolated or protected regions where they now occur in large numbers.
		Eagles are well known to be extremely common on the entire Aleutian chain, and thence along the south coast of Alaska throughout the Kodiak and Sitkan region.
		While he was out one of these eagles soared high over the village, and seeing the hunter's wife outside of the house, swooped with a mighty rush of wings and carried her off to feed the nestlings.

	Eagle Island Lighthouse, Maine at Lighthousefriends.com
		The Eagle Island Lighthouse was commissioned in 1839, one of seventeen lighthouses built in Maine during a fifteen-year period during the 1820s and 1830s.
		The Eagle Island light was necessary to guide ships going to and from Bangor, at the time well on its way to becoming one of the busiest lumber ports in the world.
		Originally known as Eagle Island Point Light, the station was built on the northeast corner of the island on a six-acre point deeded to the government in 1837 by local landowner John C. Gray.

	Eagles: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) of Alaska’s waterways and the soaring Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) of the Interior are two of this state’s most magnificent birds of prey.
		The Bald Eagle is Alaska’s largest resident bird of prey (the Steller’s Sea Eagle is larger) with a wing span up to 7 1/2 feet (2.3 m) long and weights of 8 to 14 pounds (3.6-6.4 kg).
		Bald Eagles were endangered or eliminated throughout most of the Lower 48 states as a result of habitat destruction, illegal shooting, pesticides, and poisoning.

		The bald eagle is a bird of aquatic ecosystems (Gerrard and Bortolotti 1988).
		In winter, eagles may feed on waterfowl that are dead or dying from lead poisoning or upon waterfowl crippled by lead shotgun pellets during the hunting season.
		In the July 12, 1994, proposed rule, the southwest bald eagle population was recognized as distinct from eagles elsewhere in the lower 48 States based on evidence that it appeared to be reproductively isolated.

	EPA: Federal Register: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing the San Miguel Island Fox, Santa Rosa ...
		The island fox is a habitat generalist, occurring in valley and foothill grasslands, southern coastal dunes, coastal bluff, coastal sage scrub, maritime cactus scrub, island chaparral, southern coastal oak woodland, southern riparian woodland, Bishop (Pinus muricata) and Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana) forests, and coastal marsh habitats.
		Golden eagle trapping appears to have improved annual survivorship of island foxes, as the 2001 and 2002 survivorship is significantly higher than the 39 percent survivorship recorded during the island fox population decline.
		The MOA states that the ``paramount use of the islands and their environs shall be for the purpose of a missile test range, and all activities conducted by or in behalf of the Department of the Interior on such islands, shall recognize the priority of such use'' (Navy 1963).

	Santa Cruz Island Bald Eagle Fact Sheet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Though the decline of bald eagles was not solely related to pesticides, their recovery on the Channel Islands has been prevented by the continued presence of high concentrations of DDTs and PCBs in the ecosystem.
		Non-native golden eagles have established island populations during the past 15 years, due to the combination of the year-round availability of non-native feral pigs and the previous absence of bald eagles in the area.
		Island foxes, which have a much lower reproductive rate than pigs, have declined precipitously as a result of golden eagle predation, and are now on the brink of extinction.

	Channel Islands National Park - Bald Eagle (U.S. National Park Service)
		For example bald eagles were once the top marine aerial predator and probably fed upon a variety of seabirds and fish.
		Bald eagles are generally highly territorial, and in the past this behavior may have prevented golden eagles from colonizing the islands.
		The existence of breeding golden eagles on the islands at present may therefore be partially due to the absence of bald eagles.

	A Recovery Milestone for Bald Eagles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The reproductive failure of bald eagles on Catalina Island demonstrated that DDT and PCBs were still harming the marine environment.
		For example, in the absence of bald eagles, non-native golden eagles established themselves on the northern Channel Islands, which led to the precipitous decline of the native island fox due to predation.
		The two bald eagle nests and the successful hatchings in the wild are significant milestones for the restoration of bald eagles to these islands.

		Eagle Islands are a group of two or three islands on the central western rim of the Great Chagos Bank, which is the world's largest coral atoll structure, located in the Chagos Archipelago.
		With a land area of 2.45 km², Île Aigle is the largest single island of the Great Chagos Bank, and after Diego Garcia the second largest of the Chagos Archipelago.
		Though the islands were inhabited before British settlements, the population has been wiped out.

	Channel Islands Live - Eagle FAQ's
		We are particularly interested in the levels of DDT because this is the chemical that led to the disappearance of bald eagles from the Channel Islands by causing the eagles to lay thin-shelled eggs that dried out or broke during incubation.
		Bald eagles are able to withstand full sunshine because they can control their temperature by panting with their mouth open or through heat loss through the unfeathered legs and feet.
		The package consists of two components: a 70 gram solar-powered GPS transmitter and a small VHF radio, which is attached to the side of the GPS unit (http://www.iws.org/SCZ bald eagles.html).

	Defenders of Wildlife - California Programs - Channel Island Fox
		The island fox, a housecat-sized canid, once lived in large numbers on six of southern California’s eight Channel Islands.
		But years of livestock grazing on the islands removed native brush and replaced it with open grassland, exposing the fox to new predators such as golden eagles, which moved onto the islands after DDT had eliminated the island’s bald eagle population.
		To assist in the recovery of the state-listed island fox, golden eagles are being relocated to the Sierra Nevada, and the National Park Service has established captive breeding facilities on two of the islands and is building a third.

	Views of the Apostle Islands - Part 1
		Schoolcraft's determination that the number of Apostle Islands matched the number of states of the Union at the time is reflected in his 1820 sketch where he gives each island the name of a state and dubs the entire group the Federation Islands.
		As Schoolcraft applied "Massachusetts" to what we know as Sand Island, it is then probable that the two small islands to the west that he called "New Hampshire" and "Vermont" match the present-day Eagle Island and the since-submerged Steamboat Island, respectively.
		Rocky Island (Schoolcraft's "Mississippi") appears on Bayfield's earlier-published map to be two islands (not so on the later), and at least one other map of the 19th century shows the entire Rocky Island joined with South Twin Island ("Georgia"); this is discussed and illustrated here.

	National Park Service—Natural Resource Year in Review—2005
		In addition the absence of bald eagles, which were extirpated from the islands by 1960 because of organochlorine poisoning, facilitated golden eagle colonization of the islands.
		Because predation by golden eagles is the only significant source of mortality for island foxes on the northern Channel Islands, eagle removal has been very effective at increasing fox survivorship and fostering population recovery.
		Six subspecies of island fox are distributed on the six largest of the Channel Islands, one subspecies per island.
