WASHINGTON (AP) — The bald eagle, a symbol of the power and strength of the United States for more than 240 years, earned an overdue honor on Tuesday: It officially became the country’s national bird.

Well he did one thing right.

[lee martell]

Isn’t that like signing a declaration that ‘Water Is Wet!”?

God Bless America:

“Even though bald eagles were delisted from the Endangered Species Act in August 2007, because their populations recovered sufficiently, bald eagles are still protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Both laws prohibit killing, selling, or otherwise harming eagles, their nests or eggs.”

The bald eagle, a symbol of the power and strength of the United States for more than 240 years Unlike Old Joe, a symbol of feebleness and corruption for 78 years.

[Sacajaweau]

Protected unless you’re an indian.

[gundog]

Or a windmill.

I thought it already was the National Bird...

[unlearner]

Haitian illegal immigrants will show devotion to their newly adopted country by eating cooked eagle.

[Sacajaweau]

See my Post 7...

They're playing games....National Symbol is not the same as National Bird...Frigg'n idiots. Of course it is...

Haven't seen any other bird up for grabs.

[Jamestown1630]

Exactly. Windmills have probably killed more of them than any other cause.

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, Joe’s been giving the bird to the nation for many decades now...

[JBW1949]

I thought so...THANKS!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Sometimes Congress is just a bunch of a****. Pure semantics.

Teddy Roosevelt always thought it should have been the Grizzly Bear.

I’m guessing it was the ostrich for the past four years.
