Is the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act predicated on them being endangered species? If so, why would the government be interested in protecting the other raptors?

There are no eagles on the USA
endangered species list any longer. However there are falcons, hawks and owls on the list. So if eagles are federally protected and no longer endangered why wouldn't it make sense to protect species that are endangered?

Birds of prey are also illegally hunted for their feathers unlike most any other species.

Because falcons are even more rare than eagles...
They are protected last I heard, under the engangered species act, which is why getting a permit is a big deal for falconers.
