It was my understanding that the Bald Eagle had rebounded.

@2, that's why you're seeing these stories. These few eagles are in distress, and are visible to us, because their populations are exploding, and they're everywhere all of a sudden (not really, but people are slow to notice). Urban eagles aren't that unusual anymore.

Was on my way to work one day recently, going through South Park, when I saw a bunch of birds swooping down to some smashed food item in the middle of the road. There were the usual suspects, pigeons, crows, seagulls... and one gigantic eagle (well, he SEEMED gigantic, in that company).

It was way cool, this big national symbol winging down with the rest of the crew, for road snackies. He had everybody on the bus craning their necks. (Ha! See what I did there??)
