But a little· over 200 years later, the bald eagle had almost disappeared from the country In 1972, there were only 3,000 bald eagles in the entire United States The reason for the bird's decreasing population was pollution, especially pollution of the rivers by pesticides Pesticides are chemicals used to kill insects and other animals that attack and destroy crops Unfortunately, rain often washes pesticides into rivers Pesticides pollute the rivers and poison the fish Eagles eat these fish and the poison affects their eggs The eggs have very thin shells and do not hatch Eagles only lay only two
or three eggs a year Because many of the eggs did not hatch and produce more eagles, the number
of eagles quickly became smaller
