A bald eagle takes flight in Maryland's Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, home to one of the largest populations of bald eagles on the East Coast of the United States. The number of bald eagles in the wild in the US has increased significantly since the 1970s, when the US banned the insecticide DDT that posed a major threat to their survival and led to their placement on the Endangered Species List until 2007.
