ArticleBody:After reaching critically endangered population levels in the mid-20th century, bald eagles continue to steadily rebound across the US. But hunters still pose a major problem for America’s mascot—it’s not the poaching, necessarily, but their bullets used on other animals. Specifically, lead ammunition. According to a 2022 study published in Journal of Wildlife Management, bald eagle population gains across the nation are stunted as much as 4 percent every year due to lead poisoning.
And since a lead fragment as small as a grain of rice can kill an eagle, the majority of lead poisonings prove fatal. While these deaths thankfully aren’t enough to endanger bald eagle populations alone, they still pose a potentially higher problem across Northeastern states, where poisonings were potentially a percentage point higher than the national average from 2006-2016.
