The eagles find themselves in a sort of environmental updraft since the early 2000’s when the federal government took the thriving birds off its endangered species list, with more states following suit, and culturally, too, they’re soaring.
WEST ORANGE, N.J. — Along the long road from American icon to endangered species and back again, the bald eagle — the national bird of the United States, often seen against a clear blue sky — is having a moment.
To rebuild the birds' numbers in their historic range across the country, conservationists imported birds from places where their populations were stable, including from Canada. She recalled the story of one fledgling eagle that found itself on a backyard woodpile and walking around the street in a suburban town. Volunteer observers worried over the bird's well-being, given the realities of suburban living. Still, observers spotted the eagle, identified by a band, a year later. It apparently survived.
She and colleagues worked with Native American and veterans groups to get buy-in for the legislation, she said, and it passed the typically divisive House and Senate with no dissent. New Jersey Sen. Andy Kim, a native of Philadelphia Eagles territory, took his two young sons to this year's National Football Conference championship game, a memory he said they won't forget."Let's never forget that Bald Eagle was officially named America's national bird at the same time the Eagles are headed back to the Super Bowl," he said in a text message.
