Beautiful Eagle With Unfurled American Flag

A bronze Eagle is holding an American Flag. You can see the large talons grabbing the flag. 

The eagle has had a perilous journey in United States. In 1963 the Bald Eagle was added to the Endangered list in USA – due to DDT. At that time there were only 417 pairs remaining. The use of DDT had begun in the 1950’s and was found in much of the food eagle’s ate. In 1972 – 20 years – later USA finally recognized the problem and banned DDT. Without DDT the population of eagles has soared to 9,700 pairs in 2020 in the lower 48 states. Many more live in Alaska. In 2007 the eagle was removed from the Endangered list. Good news!

Thus, the eagle as our national symbol and as a thank you for getting rid of DDT must love the United States as much as we do!

The rectangle black wooden base can have a plaque 6-1/2 inch x 1 inch if you want to personalize. A great gift – or award- to someone who loves America.
