There is no question why the impressive bald eagle is the national bird and symbol of the United States. Once considered endangered, it now lives in all 48 lower states. However, those from Alaska are the largest with a wing-span up to eight feet. Unfortunately for this bird, named Adonis, his left wing was amputated after a gunshot wound. But he has been well cared for at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center since 1995. The AWCC specializes in caring for wounded and orphaned Alaskan wildlife.
