Nature gifts for bald eagle lovers provide a great way to celebrate these magnificent birds and the natural world they call home.


History of the Bald Eagle
This national symbol once was in danger of extinction throughout most of the United States. Loss of habitat, illegal hunting, and the contamination of its food, largely due to the use of the pesticide DDT, destroyed the Bald Eagle population putting it in danger of extinction.
In 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency took the historic and controversial step of banning the use of DDT in the United States.
In 1782, when America adopted the Bald Eagle as the National Symbol, it was estimated that there were as many as 300,000-500,000 eagles, with about 100,000 nesting pairs. By 1963, there were only 487 nesting pairs remaining in the lower 48 states.
In 1978 the Bald Eagle was listed as endangered throughout the lower 48 states, except in Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin where it was listened as threatened.
In 2007, the Bald Eagle was taken off of the Endangered Species List thanks to the banning of DDT, public conservation and the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
On December 23, 2024, President Biden officially designated the Bald Eagle as the national bird of the United States. Although the Bald Eagle has been a symbol of American ideals since it was featured on the Great Seal in 1782, it had never been formally recognized as the national bird until now.
Today it is estimated that there are more than 5000 nesting pairs and over 70,000 Bald Eagles in The United States of America.
What Does the Bald Eagle Symbolize?
The bald eagle symbolizes strength, freedom, and patriotism in the United States. It represents hope and pride, embodying the determination of the American spirit. As the national bird, the bald eagle serves as a powerful reminder of the values and ideals that the nation stands for. These qualities make Bald Eagle gifts a meaningful choice for those who cherish these values.
