Bald Eagles breed quite well in the wild. They have no genetic defect for a thin egg shell. You are confused about DDT, which produced thin egg shells in all egg producing birds that were exposed to it.

So your one example isn’t one.

Next example?

Not even a single examples of a species going extinct through mutation; and yet you still stand behind your ‘extinction is the result of mutation’ statement?

Based upon what exactly?

DDT caused a MUTATION, silly. So it's a perfect example. Remove the trigger, and the mutation stopped. BTW, DDT perhaps was not the cause.

Elk, deer develop a prion (protien) mutation, similar to mad cow disease. They will die off unless the source causing the mutation is eliminated.

There you go. Two examples without even looking anything up.
