The bald eagle was delisted in 1995 when its numbers had rebound to
~5,000 breeding pairs. An Illinois woman was convicted of violating the Lacey Act of 1900 and Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940 after she gave Hillary Clinton a dream catcher that contained bald eagle feathers in 1994.

Typically, only Native Americans, raptor centers, and zoologists are able to obtain such permits.
