"NOT BALD, SHAVED" as Michael Wilbon would say. The bald eagle is making a fantastic comeback. (link found via the Corner) Interesting stat (also pointed out at the Corner): there are now bald eagle nesting pairs in every state but Rhode Island and Vermont (and Hawaii, which was never part of the bald eagle range). Surely it's no coincidence that the bald eagle is avoiding the country's most liberal states; clearly the bird is the rock-ribbed conservative of the flighted-animal community. Once again, the Muppet Show fails to lead us astray.
