Hunting and they fact that alot of their thick forest areas have been downsized. That is why they are an endagered speicies. Their is a hefty fine for anyone who even finds a eagle feather on the ground and keeps it. These feathers are collected and eventially they go to some Native American Tribes to use for their spiritual worships. (It is illegal to even posses a feather, because their is not proof of how you got it. Someone could have killed the bird.)
They can also be stalked by mountain lions.

For the most part humans. In the past few years there have been many remains of bald eagles found in BC. They were illegally killed for their feathers and talons. Humans have also been destroying their forests (bald eagles tend to return to the same nests) and hunting areas. Polution is also threatening not only the food eagles eat (fish in lakes/rivers) but the eagles themselves.
Natural dangers include ravens, raccoons who eat the eggs.
Good luck on your report. :)

poaching and habitat loss.

Any disruption to the food chain can affect the predators at the top, as can reducing their nesting grounds. Bald eagles mate for life, so this is a factor in low breeding. Native Americans taking their feathers is only a small factor, as is the instinct of eagles to fight to the death in a free fall that kill both contenders. Main reasons cited above are poaching and habitat loss.

to adults and juveniles: polluted fish; breaking through the ice in the winter while trying to catch a fish; injury from other eagles; to chicks in the nest: older chicks will peck on younger chicks and get all the food so much so that the younger chicks will die; sometimes the older ones push the younger ones out of the nest.

Native Americans. If the eagle is on their land (reservation) they can kill it. No disrespect. I don't know of anything else but natural causes.

Pesticides - they make the shells of their eggs too thin so the chicks will not hatch
Pollutiion - Destroys their natual habitat, so they cant find edible food and water
Humans - Destroy natural habitats

~From what I understand, flying head on into a semi doing 80mph is real bad for them. I'd give you more, but I'm busy doing someone else's homework right now.
