We almost lost the majestic Bald Eagle in the lower 48 states due to habitat destruction, poaching, and the use of DDT. However, concerned citizens, organizations, and agencies banded together to bring it back from the brink of extinction. The Bald Eagle has made an dramatic recovery back to our parks, lands, waterways, and skies. On American Eagle Day, and every day, let us continue to treasure and protect the Bald Eagle all across this great land. Learn more: www.AmericanEagleDay.org

The reputation of bats has been vilified & immortalized in literature throughout the ages, but they play an integral role in our ecosystem! For example, did you know that bats help control the mosquito population? Little brown bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes or similar sized insects in an hour!
