The American Bald Eagle

View:

Many Americans feared the extinction of their national symbol, but the bald eagle has been slowing growing in numbers and largely recovered from its earlier decline. In 1940 the bald eagle was declared to be endangered, and to protect it from hunters the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection act was passed. Another danger to the bird was the spread of DDT, which continued to kill eagles even after the hunters stopped. In 1963 the numbers of breeding pairs was only 417, leading to the 1973 inclusion in the list of endangered species.

Far from the expected extinction of the treasured national symbol, the bald eagle has since made a dramatic recovery. Today nearly 10,000 pairs of bald eagles roam the U.S., which is enough to get the species removed from the protection of the endangered species list. But, the species will not be left entirely alone by the experts. The bald eagle's numbers will be monitored for a few years to make sure they do not begin to decline again. If at any time the eagle's numbers begin to decline, there is the possibility of the animal being relisted on the endangered species list for continuing protection.

The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act will continue to protect the bald eagle even as it stays off the endangered species list. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 has offers still more protection to the bald eagle. Migratory birds could not be hunted or traded in the U.S. because of the act, but that protection also extended into other countries. For eagles that make their way into Canada or Mexico, the treaty is in effect in those countries to stop the trade of eagle feathers, eggs and other parts that could make the hunting of eagles lucrative.

Since DDT was banned in 1972, bald eagles have enjoyed further protection from decline. DDT was found to be a major factor in the downfall of the bald eagle, as well as many other animal species, as the toxic chemical found its way through the food chain. Waterways became contaminated with the chemical, which then spread to the eagles. When fish caught from waters contaminated with the chemical, they too became contaminated. Eagles affected by the chemical were unable to make the hard shells needed for their eggs. The havoc wreaked by DDT made it difficult for the species to reproduce as mother eagles cracked their own thin eggs in an attempt to incubate them. With DDT now gone, the number of bald eagles can continue to grow.

The American Bald Eagle

When shopping for an eagle figurine, no doubt you will come across a figurine of the American Bald Eagle. This type of figurine has the US flag on the base and is the perfect way for you to show your patriotic pride. For those connected with the military, the gift of an eagle figurine is one way you can show your support for putting their lives in danger. An eagle figurine, especially one made of frosted glass, looking down from a mountain scene will really become the focal point of your figurine collection.

Eagle figurines are the most graceful of all the wildlife and animal figurines. With an eagle figurine, you can capture the grace and elegance of this bird. The detail of the eagle portrayed in the frosted eagle figurines is flawless and shows every facet of the wings and beak to perfection. In addition to having a frosted eagle figurine showing the American Bald Eagle, there are many unique eagle figurines that you can purchase. Many people that have one figurine of an eagle like to collect as many different eagle figurines as they can.

Take a look at the eagle figurine showing a Alabastrite eagle looking down from its perch on a snowy mountain. The rosewood color of the base shows off the contrast between the eagle and the snow-capped trees. Eagle figurines showing the mother eagle and her chicks are also perfect figurines to include in your display. Frosted eagle figurines showing the fighting spirit of the eagle contrast with the caring attitude when you place these two figurines side by side.

The porcelain eagle figurines, such as those featuring an eagle on a rock eating berries, are truly works of art. The attention to fine detail in this type of eagle figurine will enhance your collection and your love for eagles. A frosted eagle figurine is the ultimate way to show the grace and majesty of this king of the skies. In addition to porcelain and frosted glass, you can also get eagle figurines in pewter, crystal, brass and wood. Combining a selection of all materials in your figurine collection will make it stand out and garner the attention it deserves.

An eagle figurine is the earliest representation of freedom in the United States, which is why the eagle is associated with the US flag. Whether you prefer the mini figurines or the larger statue like figurines, there is no doubt that you will want to start collecting them the very fist time you see an eagle figurine. If you are unable to find one of these eagle figurines in your local area, you will not have any difficulty finding a wide selection to choose from once you do an online search.
