    I saw a documentary about illegal hunting the bald eagle which drastically hurt the population in the US

      Ah! I see it. That’s, umm, old news. The population has made significant gains since hunting was banned in the 60s. That, plus the banning of DDT, brought the 417 nesting pairs in 1963 to >71,000 pairs today.
