“As a kid, I loved being
surrounded by mountains, creeks and animals,
and volunteering with my mom
on initiatives to help protect the environment.
Being part of this contest is one important way
I can help ensure we all get to experience
the beauty and wonder of wildlife,
such as the bald eagle,
that enrich all our lives
and make us proud to be Americans.”
– Amy Smart

“Across the country, America's symbol,
the Bald Eagle has made a remarkable recovery
thanks to efforts to protect these birds and their homes.
Without these efforts,
we might have lost the Bald Eagle forever.
Our commitment to protecting rare wildlife
ensures that Americans can enjoy seeing eagles
soar across our skies for generations to come.”
– Betsy Loyless

“A lot of people have heard about the bald eagle,
but you don't really appreciate
the majestic nature of a bald eagle
until you actually get to view one.”
– Scott Root
