Charles Lavelle Broley (December 7, 1879 – May 4, 1959) conducted pioneering bird banding work with Bald Eagles, and was one of the first researchers to recognize and publicize the deleterious environmental effects of DDT. After retiring as a bank manager in Winnipeg, Manitoba at age 58, in 1938 Broley began spending the winter with his wife and daughter in Tampa, Florida, and banded 1,240 nestling eagles through 1959. Banding returns of those birds revealed that Bald Eagles hatched in Florida immediately wandered as far north as Canada, movements that were previously unsuspected. Nesting failures of Florida Bald Eagles beginning in the mid-1940s led to Broley being one of the first to correctly suspect that DDT was the responsible agent.
