The bald eagle is regal but fearless, a bird you're not inclined to
argue with. For centuries, Americans have celebrated it as
"majestic" and "noble" yet savaged the living bird behind their
national symbol as a malicious predator of livestock and, falsely,
a snatcher of babies. Taking us from before the United States'
founding through inconceivable resurgences of this enduring
all-American species, Jack E. Davis contrasts the age when native
peoples lived beside it peacefully with that when others, whether
through hunting bounties or DDT pesticides, twice pushed Haliaeetus
leucocephalus to the brink of extinction. Filled with spectacular
stories of Founding Fathers, rapacious hunters, heroic bird
rescuers and the lives of bald eagles themselves-monogamous
creatures, considered among the animal world's finest parents-The
Bald Eagle is a much-awaited cultural and natural history that
demonstrates how this bird's wondrous journey may provide
inspiration today, as we grapple with environmental peril on a
larger scale.
