The Bald Eagle, a symbol of resilience, is a conservation success story. Once endangered by pesticides and habitat loss, it has rebounded due to environmental protections. These majestic birds, with their impressive seven-foot wingspans, now thrive across North America, especially near water bodies. Their recovery is a testament to effective conservation and the enduring spirit of America's natural heritage.
