The Bald Eagle by Hal Marcovitz (9781590840320)

Description - The Bald Eagle by Hal Marcovitz

The most powerful living symbol of America may well be the bald eagle. This bird has been used to represent the United States since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Founding Fathers hoped to define their new nation with a symbol that would represent a spirit of bravery and strength. For centuries, the bald eagle has been admired by ancient cultures. Unfortunately, these beautiful birds were nearly wiped out in North America only 40 years ago. It is just in the past 10 years that the bald eagle has made a comeback, being removed from the endangered species list in the mid-1990s. By learning more about how these majestic birds live, we can more fully appreciate this bird as a symbol of America.
