Watch a sneak peek of American Eagle — Coming to NATURE Fall 2008: Photographed by three-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Neil Rettig, American Eagle is the first HD hour on bald eagles ever.

But now, following its protection, and ultimately its delisting as an endangered species, the bald eagle has come roaring back!
