June 20 is National American Eagle Day—a day to celebrate the magnificent Bald Eagle.

As part of a long-term cooperative study through the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey, all rescued Bald Eagle fledglings treated by its Raptor Trauma Clinic receive a colored auxiliary leg band before release.

Center staff and volunteers have already returned 16 baby raptors to their nests.

First celebrated, then almost wiped out, twice, the number of bald eagles soaring in this country is higher than ever. The new book, "The Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America's Bird," by Jack Davis, looks at efforts being made to help bald eagles survive and thrive. Jeff Glor has more.

The Center's team released 223 raptors back into the wild.

Snail Kites are federally endangered and, while historically their populations have been centered around Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades, their range has been expanding.

Community scientists report banded bird in Virginia.

The 2021 nesting season saw an unusually high number of Bald Eagle admissions to the Raptor Trauma Clinic at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. Follow along with this season’s eaglets through an innovative StoryMap, created by our very owl EagleWatch Program Manager Shawnlei Breeding
