At Avian Haven, most eagles admitted show some level of lead exposure linked to fragments from lead ammo. Sadly, Avian Haven recently lost a golden eagle to extreme lead levels, underscoring the ongoing risk. Officials in Maine are urging a shift to lead-free ammo.

Juvenile bald or golden eagle? 🦅 Look for:
🟤 Feathered legs = golden
🟤 Proportionally large bill = bald
🟤 Dihedral glide = golden | Flat wings = bald
🟤 Color: goldens = clean white wing patches, white tail base, dark breast | balds = messy mottling

Last May, a golden eagle long monitored just outside Yellowstone National Park died from lead exposure. Eagles often scavenge gut piles. Through WY Hunters for Eagle Conservation, eligible hunters can receive free lead-free ammo.

Copper beats lead every time - both in performance and environmental impact. Eagles rely heavily on scavenging in the winter. Non-toxic carcasses protect them!

Lead poisoning is a significant risk to eagles in North America. Bald and golden eagles often scavenge on gut piles left behind by hunters. We offer free or reduced cost lead-free ammo to hunters in participating states.

We love the new US Forever stamps illustrated by David Sibley! They depict the life stages of Bald Eagles from hatchling to nestling, juvenile, subadult, and adult. It takes about 5 years for them to molt into their iconic white heads and start to claim breeding territories.

Compare the lead on the left with the copper bullet on the right. Due to their solid construction, copper bullets tend to maintain their weight better upon impact, with zero fragmentation and a mushrooming effect, allowing for deeper penetration.
