WASHINGTON - The American bald eagle, once nearly extinct, is making a comeback. The government will confirm that when it takes the revered bird off a list of protected species on Thursday.
Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne will make the announcement at a ceremony near the Jefferson Memorial, a day before a court-directed deadline for his department to decide the eagle’s status.
Good news for the Bald eagle for sure. 10,000 nesting pairs up from 417 in 1963 is quite an accomplishment.
