AEF Eagle Consultant
Dear Friends of Eagles:
As we enter the twenty-first century, the Bald Eagle faces
continuing threats to its livelihood and new challenges in its fight for
survival.
The non-profit American Eagle Foundation (AEF) is a
citizen's effort established to care for, restore and protect the U.S.A.'s
living symbol of Freedom, as well as the fragile ecosystem that both eagles and
humans depend on.
The Bald Eagle is making a gradual comeback to our great
country, but, unfortunately, it is not yet home free. Much work still needs to
be done to preserve its nesting and foraging habitat, maintain and enforce
strict protection laws, and monitor nesting populations nation-wide.
3-day old bald eaglets hatched at the AEF's birds of prey
facility. Eaglets were released into wild at 13 weeks of age.
We need your help to Build a Nest Egg that will ensure a
healthy and prosperous future for the majestic Bald Eagle. Please make sure to
donate to our American Eagle Fund to show your support for this noble cause and
preserve this magnificent creature.
Caring people and corporations, just like you, can fulfill
the dream and finish the job of bringing back the Bald Eagle to our nation's
lands, waterways and skys.
With your help, many generations of Americans will be able
to enjoy and be inspired by one of our country's most precious national
treasures.
Thank you in advance for your generous and caring support.
Respectfully yours,
Al Louis Cecere
Founder & President

Bald Eagle Set for Delisting By February 16, 2007
In anticipation of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's
upcoming "delisting" of the bald eagle as an endangered species, the American
Eagle Foundation has a clearly defined vision to continue safegarding America's
national bird for future generations. One of the primary goals of the AEF
includes creating an "American Eagle Fund" to care for this national treasure
forever. Read More.
American Eagle & Literacy Challenge
The AEF has teamed up with the Fraternal Order of Eagles
and Timberlin Creek Elementary School to support a nationwide initiative to
help preserve the Bald Eagle and promote childhood literacy in the United
States. This initiative includes a letter-writing campaign asking governors
nationwide to proclaim "American Eagle Day" on June 20th for Americans
everywhere to annually celebrate. Find out how you can participate in this
important project.

Did you Know?
Over 300 bald eaglets (age 12 to 13 weeks) have been
released in the state of Tennessee since the early 1980s to help bring back the
national bird - more than any other state.
Guidelines For Bald Eagle Viewing
How can we safely view and learn about bald eagles at the
same time? Guided eagle-viewing tours generally get you safely to the "hot
spots", while providing interesting and informative programs. Many North
American winter eagle festivals are described on our website. They generally
combine tours with inside informative programs. You can also find guidance on
good locations for individual eagle viewing if you: access "Google" at
www.google.com and enter the key words, "eagle viewing, Tennessee", "eagle
viewing, Minnesota", etc. Learn more about eagle v iewing without "disturbance".
