A bald eagle April 6 carries a twig and perches in a tree in Holmes Beach, near its fishing spot in Watson’s Bayou. The bald eagle was removed from the federal endangered species list in 2007 and the state imperiled species list in 2008. Florida has one of the densest concentrations of nesting bald eagles in the lower 48 states. Islander Photos: Bruce McFadden
