Answer 1

1. Habitat loss and fragmentation, pollution of rivers and lakes where they fish. In particular DDT and it's metabolite DDE were very problematic for bald eagles (and DDE is still a problem in some areas). Other contaminants, such as mercury is also still a problem.



2.Much has been done (e.g. banning of DDT and other pesticides that were really harmful), protecting habitat, etc.



3. It takes the species 4-5 years to become sexually mature, they are pretty adaptable and are good kleptoparasites (they steal from other species like ospreys).



4. Many laws, they fall under the migratory bird treaty act, but more importantly the Bald and Golden Eagle protection act (as well as those that benefit them without mentioning them, like the one banning DDT).



5. They are no longer considered endangered (they were delisted a few yeas ago), which has led to concerns among conservationists who worry that with habitat along rivers and lakes no longer protected, developers will come in and destroy much of their habitat.

Answer 2

This is a report, most likely school. It's your assignment so you have to do the work. So get onto google and search the bald eagle's diet. It's no that hard.

Answer 3

I don't think bald eagles are actually endangered, their numbers have been rising considerably since previous dacades. they are certainly protected. I suggest you contact a falconer or wildlife officer and ask them about this.
