The Bald Eagle and the American Alligator are two of conservation's greatest success stories. I'm sure there are other species but those are the first two that come to mind. I'm grateful that efforts were made to save them so that not only was I able to grow up seeing them in the wild, younger generations will too.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

The Bald Eagle is one of the great comeback stories in American conservation. We've seen them in Flushing Meadow Park in Queens, New York City. There are a number of resident pairs on Long Island, from where they'd virtually disappeared a generation or two ago.
