An Eagle from the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois

Leah the Bald Eagle on loan to Brookfield Zoo from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service is an important part of children's Zoo's animal in action program because of an injury.  Leah could not survive in the wild.  In children's zoo, however, her demonstrations of her species' marvelous abilities help visitors appreciate the beauty and ecological importance of America's still-endangered national bird.
