Have you heard the good news?
The bald eagle was taken off the endangered species list in June! It was considered near extinction in the 1960's with less than 500 known nesting pairs in the United States. Now there are over 20,000 eagles in the lower 48 states and over 35,000 in Alaska.
It's good to know we can do something right!
Did you ever wonder? "Bald" used to mean white, not hairless and that's why we call them bald eagles.
