Year of the American eagle celebrated nationwide
President Reagan backs an eagle year designation and American Eagle Day on June 20 to honor the bald eagle. Census data show eagle numbers rising, with about 13,709 counted in 1981 and nesting increases in Maine and the Great Lakes region. The bird also features on the Great Seal and U.S. currency, despite its endangered status in much of the continental U.S.
