Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 19 Pages. No marks or stamps to this tight clean book. Minor light wear to cover edges and corners. This booklet was produced by Du Pont as a Public Service in Cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The bald eagle is truly an all -American bird, the only species of eagle unique to our continent. It once soared over most what is now the continental United States. But today the only great assemblage, as many as 50,000 birds, can be found in Alaska. It is listed as endangered in 43 of the lower 48 states and threatenend in the remaining five. The Continental Congress chose the bald eagle to grace our new nation's Great Seal in 1782. Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey as the national bird writing that the bald eagle was a bird of bad moral character which didn't get his living honestly. Most people didn't share his misgivings. Contents: Bald Eagle Basics, Year of the Eagle, Decline of a Symbol, A Matter of Survival, A Place of Refuge, Restocking the Spoecies, To Save an Eagle, and Unanswered Questions.
