Did a little googling... There are 10,000 nesting pairs in the continental US, which is better than the 413 pairs back in 1963, but still not that great considering they're spread over 3,119,686 square miles.
Taking anything off the Endangered Species List is always fraught with danger. They did that with the Humpback Whale just a few years ago, and now the Japanese Government are trying to hunt them (in Australian Antarctic waters, which is kind of an act of War, but nobody seems to care as it's only animals) I hope the Bald Eagle remains in the skies over your country for many aeons after we humans destroy ourselves...
