Title: The Big Bad Bald Eagle

The Big Bad Bald Eagle
  • By Alex

  • The Bald Eagle became endangered in 1967. In
    1995 it was no longer endangered, but it is
    still threatened. This means that the population
    of the bald eagles has increased, but we still
    need to be careful to protect them.

3
  • The Bald Eagle is the national symbol of the
    United States and represents our freedom. It is
    also known as the American Eagle. You can see
    the Bald Eagle on the seal of President of he
    United States and on the back of several coins.

  • Bald Eagles are not really bald. They have white
    feathers on their heads. A long time ago, the
    word bald meant white. They are found throughout
    the United States except Hawaii. The largest
    number live in Alaska.

5
Reasons Bald Eagle Became Endangered
  • 1. As settlers moved into North America, the
    natural habitat for the bald eagles changed.
    Trees were cut down and the eagles could no
    longer build nests in many trees.
  • 2. Pollution and chemicals in streams
    contaminated the fish that the bald eagles would
    eat.
  • 3. Hunters would shoot the bald eagle.

6
Reason Why the Bald Eagle Population Increased
  • 1. Not allowed to hunt the bald eagle.
  • 2. It is against the law to use certain chemicals
    that will harm the bald eagles food supply,
    fish.

7
  • The Bald eagle population will grow if we
    continue to protect its habitat and food supply.
