(who notes that in the section devoted to federally protected species
which may be negatively affected, the Indiana Bat is mentioned *before*
the bald eagle.....)

Probably because the bald eagle is making a good comeback and has an
enormous range, while the bat is declining in a rather limited range?

Or some typist with an odd sense of filing put bat before eagle on a
basis of the spelling of the last name?
