Eagles are back big time, and they're no longer classified as "endangered." Airports near nesting areas (rivers or shore lines) are starting to see more and more conflicts with airplanes.

 

The mature birds know to stay away but the young ones are fearless/stupid and therein is the problem. If you can show cause, as with airplane safety, It is possible to get a permit to kill them, in the interest of air safety.

By my work in South Chicago... They are roosting. The Chicago Police was going to build an outdoor gun range... The birders got wind of it and proved that eagles were in the area and the kibosh was put on the range.
