American Eagle Day

June 20th is celebrated as American Eagle Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the conservation and protection of the bald eagle, the national bird of the United States.

History

American Eagle Day was first proclaimed by President Bill Clinton in 1995 to commemorate the recovery and restoration of the bald eagle population, which had faced significant declines due to habitat loss, hunting, and the widespread use of pesticides like DDT.
