THE EAGLE LADY • Once nearly extinct, American bald eagle populations are soaring — thanks to environmentalists and bird lovers like Doris Mager

AMERICA'S SYMBOL • The bald eagle once ranged throughout every state in the Union except Hawaii. When America adopted the bird as its national symbol in 1782, as many as 100,000 nesting bald eagles lived in the contiguous United States. By 1963, only 417 nesting pairs were found in the lower 48. In 1917, in response to claims that the bald eagle was a threat to some livelihoods — claims later discredited — the Alaska Territorial Legislature sponsored a bounty of 50 cents — later increased to $2 — for each pair of eagle talons that were turned in. That led to the death of more than 125,000 birds. The Post editorial board spoke out on the issue.
