With these and other recovery methods‚ as well as habitat improvement and the banning of DDT‚ bald eagle populations have steadily increased. Indeed‚ the number of nesting pairs in the lower 48 United States increased 10-fold‚ from less than 450 in the early 1960s‚ to more than 4‚500 adult bald eagle nesting pairs in the 1990s. In the Southeast
