Iowa’s Bald Eagles have returned! In 1977, Iowa recorded its first bald eagle nest in 72 years and, amazingly, just 3 decades later, 253 young were reared across 88 counties during 2010. Declared our national bird in 1782, the bald eagle was on the brink of extinction during the 20th century until measures were taken to save it. The Return of Iowa’s Bald Eagles chronicles this conservation success story with facts, antidotes, charts, statistics, and a photo gallery – which illustrates bald eagle biology, and the bald eagle’s recovery in Iowa. These spectacular color photographs – among the most incredible photographs ever taken in Iowa and the United States - have captured the power, grace and majesty of the bald eagle as it returned to prominence in Iowa. 257 full-color pages, 11-1/4 x 7 1/2, softcover Publisher: Iowan Books
