It’s official!
After nearly
disappearing from most of the U.S., the bald eagle is now flourishing
and no longer needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act. The
nation’s symbol has recovered from an all-time low of 417 nesting
pairs in 1963 to an estimated high of 9,789 breeding pairs today, and
will be removed from the list of threatened and endangered species.
