U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Denies Petition to List Sonoran Desert Bald Eagle Population as Endangered

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has made a 12-month finding on a petition to list the Sonoran Desert bald eagle population as a threatened or endangered distinct population segment. The petition requests listing under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, but the Service has determined that the population does not meet the definition of a DPS and therefore is not eligible for listing.
