Dan,
I think that any or all of our non-endangered raptor species could end up in the same situation. The one difference with eagles is that there are so few people who
can really fly them (let's face it, if you live in the northeast you shouldn't fly an eagle) that it makes them an easy target for megalomaniacal bureaucrats. This is
one of the things that made me somewhat apprehensive about the plan to allow apprentices to fly captive bred and hand me down birds. The more people who trap
the better positioned we are to know if some bureaucrat somewhere has started their power grab.
