The bald eagle

The bald eagle has been a national symbol of the United States for centuries. However, it wasn't long ago that eagle populations were plummeting to extinction. Years of hunting, trapping, and poisoning bald eagles put this regal raptor at risk. This book explores the story of the bald eagle, as it became endangered, and as conservation efforts worked to bring bald eagle numbers back up. Readers will enjoy striking photographs of the bald eagle, as well as graphic organizers that help demonstrate information in an accessible way. Readers are sure to come away with a deep understanding of the bald eagle's historic recovery-and why conservation is so important.
