Bald Eagle
Personal memory by Afton Weaver
2017 • Mechanicsburg, PA, USA
I've lived my entire life in central Pennsylvania and to the best of my memory I don't recall ever seeing a bald eagle while growing up. Now, I often arrive home greeted by a bald eagle perched on a tree in my front yard. Since their near decimation in the mid-1900's, conservation efforts have supported the species' incredible recovery. I hope the same can happen for more overlooked species that don't necessarily carry a political significance.
