      Fantastic story, jcolman. This is yet another sign that preservation programs can be effective. Best of luck to the hatchling and the baby's proud parents.

            Nice to see the symbol of America coming back. May this herald the rebirth of freedom in this great country.

                      Amazing! Also amazing that it took 50 YEARS before the awful effects of DDT made it so the birds could hatch without human intervention.

                      Wow, there are some really dedicated people out there, that is very comforting. :)

                      Thanks for the story!

                                              Such awesome animals. Thanks jcolman for the post. It is a small step. But it proves that a concerted effort can save a species that is tettering on the edge of extinction.
