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.

He has also worked for The London Evening Standard, Fox News and Bauer Media. The bald eagle, once teetering on the brink of extinction, has made a significant comeback in the United States.

The bald eagle's recovery hit a major milestone at a local level in 1983, when the first eagle nest since the 1950s was documented on Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge.
