The bald eagle - symbol of freedom, strength, and power - was adopted as the United States’ national emblem in 1782.

Unfortunately, that did not guaranteed protection of this magnificent bird. Several factors contributed to plummeting bald eagle populations in the 1900s. For instance, the paying of bounties for dead eagles did not end until 1962. In Alaska, a pair of eagle feet brought two dollars. Compounding the problem was the use of DDT to control crop pests. Where the bounty hunters had failed, this dreadful pesticide almost succeeded. Fortunately, these issues are behind us and bald eagles have made a dramatic comeback.

Today, the bald eagle ranges throughout most of North America.
