Video of the Day

Challenger the Bald Eagle

11/3/08

Tomorrow is Election Day. So, this YouTube video focuses on an important American symbol. The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States. And it’s featured proudly on the Presidential Seal.

But the Bald Eagle is more than a symbol. It’s a treasured animal. Until recently, it was considered an endangered species. There was a big educational push to save the Bald Eagle. At the forefront of that push was Challenger.

Challenger is a very special bald eagle. He was blown from his nest as an eaglet. He was found and raised by Good Samaritans. Consequently, he is human-imprinted and cannot be released. The eagle has entertained thousands of sports fans. He has put on flying shows during the national anthem. He even had a song written for him. Hear it in this video.
