Canada saved the bald eagle. CA-NA-DA! So technically, it's our bird now, and we demand that Trump stop passing out gold eagle statues to war lords. First of all, it's tacky and second Canada saved it from extinction, not the US and third, Putin doesn't deserve any prize or gift.
I get baldies in my yard. They also steal the neighbour's chickens!
I actually remember reading about the efforts in Cape Breton ages ago. In the last decade or so, they've begun to nest at some locations here in Michigan, but that's due largely to the fact that they've spread from, well, the North.
Canada also has the largest population of them worldwide
