James Brady+FollowBald Eagles Are Back in a Big Way!Remember when bald eagles were nearly wiped out in Maryland? Now, they’re absolutely thriving—over 1,400 breeding pairs, up from just 62 in the ‘80s! Turns out, banning DDT and protecting their habitats really worked. The Chesapeake Bay is now one of the top spots for bald eagles outside Alaska. Kinda wild to see a comeback story like this, right? Do you think the U.S. does enough to protect its wildlife? #Science #BaldEagle #ConservationWin3250Share
