A national treasure!

The bald eagle has become a conservation success story. In 1963, there were less than 500 nesting pairs of these regal birds remaining. Thanks to intense conservation and outreach efforts, the bald eagle was taken off the Endangered Species List in 2007. These majestic birds can be seen across the United States but appear to enjoy visiting the Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay-Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary. Curious.
