NATURE | American Eagle | Preview | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/american-eagle/introduction/4201/ Everything about them is big. They are one of nature's largest raptors, with wings that can span eight feet, and nests that can weigh up to a ton. Unique to North America, the bald eagle is the continent's most recognizable aerial predator, with a shocking white head, electric yellow beak and penetrating eyes. Yet most people know little about it beyond its striking appearance. "American Eagle" goes behind the scenes and into the nest to provide the ultimate bird's eye view into the private life of an American icon.

"American Eagle" airs on PBS Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 8 p.m. (check local listings). "American Eagle" is part of the 28th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS. Major support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc.

Has anyone seen this? There was an eagle who suffered acute lead poisoning from eating a dear carcass with bullets left inside. That eagle did receive treatment, but we haven't gotten an update on the birds prognosis. Does anyone know?
