The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota has many resources, including general raptor facts, what to do with an injured raptor, Newsgroups with discussions about raptors, a sight and sound multimedia file. The most useful information for education is the listings of legislation concerning raptors.

This information could be used by teachers and middle school or older children to track legislation that effects any of America's raptors. It is compiled and updated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.<http://www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu/>

Bald Eagle Reports
This sight is sponsored by the School World Endangered Species Project. It includes reports by children on many endangered animals. At present there are two on eagles. Bald Eagle 1 was submitted by Michelle, Larry and Thomas at East Side Elementary School, Harrisburg, Illinois. It was last modified Oct. 12, 1998. The report lists eagle facts, so it is easy to skim. Bald Eagle 2 was written by Mrs. Bonnie Clarke's sixth grade at the David Lewis Public School, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. It is written in paragraph form. Both of these reports could be used for elementary research.<http://www.schoolworld.asn.au/spec1.html>
