EXTERNAL STUDY This is a summary of an external study
This survey in the state of Massachusetts found there were sightings of 71 individual bald eagles in the state.

An annual survey conducted in the state of Massachusetts yielded sightings of 71 individual bald eagles, a species that was once listed as threatened, but removed from the federal endangered species list in 2007.

Preliminary Massachusetts statewide figures included 45 adults and 25 juvenile eagles. In 2009, the mid-winter survey identified 81 birds, and in 2008 73 were eagles spotted. Researchers say that the population started to increase when the chemical DDT was banned in 1972.
