Speaking of which, the Bush admin is taking the bald eagle off the endangered species list this week barely any protection left for them.

Er, the Bald Eagle was taken off the Endangered Species list a decade ago, Sam. It is currently listed as a "Threatened Species". As far as legal protections go, nothing changed. It is still a federal felony to kill one.

As an aside, we have one of the largest eagle populations in the US here in Florida. I probably see one once a week - and it is still awe-inspiring each and every time.

I've even been fortunate enough to get to watch one fishing a couple times - amazing.

I have not heard - and Google didn't list - anything about the bald eagle's status being changed. Should I see such a thing, I'll definitely be letting my lawmakers know what I think about it.
