Eagles

In 1995, Ingram founded the Eagle Nature Foundation. He and the foundation are credited as a large influence in removing the bald eagle from the American endangered species list.

His book, Eagle , was published by Metro Books in 1998. He also published numerous articles on the recovery of the bald eagle population.

Bees

Ingram did research on the effects of Monsanto's herbicide, Roundup, as a proposed cause of colony collapse disorder in honey bees.

In March 2012, his bees were seized by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, with a claim that they were infected by American foulbrood. The hives were destroyed prior to the hearing, and therefore he could not present evidence of infection, or lack of infection of his hives. He has asserted that his 15 years of research regarding the effects of a herbicide on bees was the cause of the seizure.

In 2018 Ingram published the book Silent Fall (ISBN 9781644403174) on the topic of Colony Collapse Disorder.
