Important Facts About the Bald Eagle Did you know that the United States adopted the bald eagle as the national bird and symbol of the nation in 1782? Settlers arriving in America chose the name bald eagle, believing the bird was the common European Sea Eagle. Because the bald eagle is found only in North America, the European settlers had never seen one.

In 1940 the bald eagle was declared to be endangered, and to protect it from hunters the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection act was passed.
