Save the Eagle Day is celebrated on January 10th every year.
This holiday was formed to aide in the public awareness of the plight of the
bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, when the species was facing
extinction.
On the 28th of June 2007, the United States Secretary of the Interior, Dirk Kempthorne, removed the bald eagle from the "Threatened and Endangered Species" list at a ceremony performed at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. "After years of careful study, public comment and planning, the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are confident in the future security of the American Bald Eagle," Kempthorne stated. "From this point forward, we will work to ensure that the eagle never again needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act."
