Eagles Set To Soar Off Vermont s Endangered Species List After Years Of Steady Recovery

An eagle leaves the nest in Barnet, Vt. State biologists and volunteer monitors counted 52 breeding pairs in Vermont and surrounding areas last year, and those birds produced 64 chicks. (John Hall/Vermont Fish and Wildlife) Bald eagles are soaring again in Vermont. The magnificent birds were pushed to the brink of extinction by hunting, habitat loss and pesticide poisoning. For decades, no eagles nested in the Green Mountain State. Now, the birds of prey have recovered to the point where the state is ready to take them off the endangered species list. State wildlife biologist Doug Morin has his spotting scope aimed at a large pine tree towering over a cemetery in Barnet, near the Connecticut River. This time of year, it’s a reliable spot for an eagle sighting. A bird obliges.

Vermont ready to remove bald eagles from endangered list

Vermont ready to remove bald eagles from endangered list April 26, 2021 GMT MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) Vermont’s population of bald eagles has grown to the point that the state is ready to remove them from the endangered species list. Hunting, habitat loss and pesticide poisoning pushed the birds of prey to extinction, Vermont Public Radio reported on Monday. No eagles had nested in Vermont for decades. Since a breeding pair took up residence in the state in 2008, the birds’ recovery has been has been strong and steady, said state wildlife biologist Doug Morin, the bird project leader at the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.

Some cliffs, overlooks closed to protect peregrines

Hiking Vermont’s hillsides is a great way to enjoy a spring day, but the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and Audubon Vermont recommend people check to see if the area they are planning to hike or climb is open. “Peregrine falcons are very sensitive to human presence during their breeding season, so we ask climbers and hikers to please maintain a respectful distance from all nests,” said state wildlife biologist Doug Morin. “The areas closed include the portions of the cliffs where the birds are nesting and the trails leading to cliff tops or overlooks.” Biologists and community scientists are just now identifying which cliffs are occupied by peregrines, and not all sites have been visited to-date. Once closed, these sites will remain closed until Aug. 1 or until the department determines the risk to nesting falcons has passed.
