The Audubon Society has describe that the old tagged Bald Eagle in America has died at the age of 38 . The shuttlecock has overseen the dramatic convalescence for his species in the United States , and is a will to some of the successes of the environmental movement of the seventies .
Eagle 629 - 03142 was fall by a cable car near Henrietta , New York . Born in 1977 , it was taken from its nest in Minnesota and was brought up in New York ’s Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge . The move was part of a large effort to restore Bald Eagle populations in the DoS , which had pick up its number fall to just a undivided breeding pair in the 1970s .
As his species recovered , biologist stopped tracking 03142 ’s every move , but he likely stay at that nest for the residue of his life , since he died only about 25 statute mile aside . He was probably there in 1989 , when the NYSDEC eagle recovery programme ended , and in 2007 , when Bald Eagles were taken off the federal endangered species tilt . By that point , their population had grown more than tenfold since their initial listing . At last prescribed count , in 2006 , there were at least 9,789 breeding dyad of Bald Eagles in the low-spirited 48 country , and thousands more in Alaska .
629 - 03142 ’s death is tragic ( and a unspoilt monitor for drivers to be cautious while drive ) , but its life play up an crucial span of time , as well as present the success of recovery program to restore the bird to sustainable numbers .
