It recalls a 1861 YMCA petition to Lincoln proposing a Washington withdrawal, which he rejected to protect the capital.

Few Sanctuaries Left For Dwindling Eagles
Naturalists warn the bald and golden eagle population is collapsing due to poisoning, electrocution, and hunting. In Wyoming about 43 eagles were killed, with others felled by bait, shooting, and power lines. Fewer nesting pairs remain nationwide. 800 pairs in the United States, per Interior estimates, face uncertain future. Eager rescue efforts focus on Wyoming canyons as refuges for threatened raptors.
