The bald eagle
I am doing the Bald Eagle. The Eagle is our nations bird. They were hunted and killed off for many years. Now it is an endangered species and if you kill a bald eagle it is a federal crime. In the 18th centrey the population of the Bald Eagle was from 300,000 to 500,000 and by the 1950's it was down to 412. In 1930 a scientist went to Alaska to do a study on the Bald Eagle. In the past 12 years before 1930 70,000 Eagles were shot. In 1995 the Bald Eagle was removed off the endangered species. It is sad how people could kill such a beautiful bird but at least now it is under control and the population of the Bald Eagle is still rising and will keep going up.
