The bald eagle's resurgence is the good news in this inspiring book. Because of a remarkably successful conservation effort, our national bird, which was once in danger of extinction, is now thriving. The number of bald eagles has tripled throughout the lower forty-eight states in the past twenty years, and today about six thousand pairs raise their families--many in areas where they haven't been seen in decades.Dorothy Hinshaw Patent explains why bald eagles no longer gather in large numbers in Glacier National Park as they once did. She describes the steps that have been taken to breed and conserve these birds, the way scientists track and band them, and why some people now believe eagles are no longer endangered.Packed with information and illustrated with stunning full-dolor photographs by William Munoz, this eye-opening book gives a clear overview of where you can find the bald eagle. Chances are that you can even spot one in its next--or soaring--not far from your home.
