The bald eagle was first protected in the US and Canada in 1918 and in 1940, the US made it illegal to trap and kill bald eagles. In 1967, the bald eagle was first listed as an endangered species. A few years later, the use of the pesticide DDT was banned in the US. DDT had been one of the big killers of the Bald Eagle. With the banning of DDT, the species began to rebound.

The bald eagle has been the national bird of the United States since 1782. Famously, Benjamin Franklin preferred the wild turkey as a national symbol. The bald eagle first appeared as a symbol of America on a copper cent minted in Massachusetts in 1776! Happily, the bald eagle was recently removed from the Endangered Species list.
