Along our misty shores Bald Eagles never fail to inspire us with awe as they soar overhead piercing the silence with their shrill screams. For thousands of years Eagles have been revered by different cultures as symbols of power, strength and courage, surviving climate changes and as recently as 1962, bounty hunters. Early settlers in this area named the Bald Eagle, not for lack of feathers but "Balde" an early English word meaning "white".
