It's America’s national symbol, appearing on the backs of quarters, dollar bills and on the great seal of the United States. The bald eagle became an American icon after the founding fathers made it the national emblem in 1782.

Despite its symbolic significance, the bald eagle population plummeted in the 1960s and 70s -- and it faced a very real threat of extinction. By 1979, just four nesting pairs remained in Ohio. Forty years later, hundreds of bald eagles soar over the state's landscape and nest near our lakes, rivers and streams.

We explore the eagles' path to recovery -- widely regarded as one of America’s greatest conservation success stories.
