F. Murray Abraham, narrator.
Once on the brink of extinction, the eagle is one of America's triumphant comeback stories. The bald eagle is the continent's most recognizable aerial predator, with a shocking white head, electric yellow beak, and penetrating eyes. Most people know little about the eagle beyond its distinctive appearance.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

American Eagle Family Life submitted by vk on November 26, 2011, 7:32am Extraordinary film sequences follow a male eagle whose mate dies and then successfully attracts another female eagle. The couple works on their nest, and raises two eaglets through the harsh winter of the upper Mississippi valley. Another eagle family undergoes early sibling rivalry, before the eaglets can develop their wing power and jump off the nest on their first flight. The banning of DDT in 1973 was instrumental in this resurgence of American eagle family life.
