US Postal Service Issues Special Bald Eagle Stamps for America's 250th Anniversary

To mark America's 250th birthday, the US Postal Service released special edition stamps featuring the bald eagle across five life stages, unveiled at the National Eagle Center in Minnesota. The bald eagle, a national emblem since 1782 and designated the national bird in 2024, symbolizes American values like strength and freedom. Its population decline due to DDT pesticide was reversed after a 1972 ban and endangered species listing, making it a notable conservation success.
