Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America's Bird

The bald eagle, a regal and fearless bird, has been celebrated as majestic and noble by Americans for centuries. Yet, at times it was considered a livestock predator and a baby snatcher. Author Jack E. Davis contrasts its peaceful coexistence of Native Americans with the times when hunting bounties and DDT pushed the species to the brink of extinction.

Filled with stories of Founding Fathers, hunters, rescuers, and bald eagles themselves, this book is a cultural and natural history that demonstrates the bird’s wondrous journey and its potential inspiration in addressing environmental peril.
