Mmmmm, smells like you’re full of shit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_eagle

The bald eagle is the national bird and national symbol of the United States and appears on its seal. In the late 20th century it was on the brink of extirpation in the contiguous United States, but measures such as banning the practice of hunting bald eagles and banning the use of the harmful pesticide DDT slowed the decline of their population. Populations have since recovered, and the species’ status was downgraded from “endangered” to “threatened” in 1995 and removed from the list altogether in 2007.
