Eagle Flier: My Extraordinary Partnership With a Bird Named Challenger

By Al Cecere, Bob Hatcher, Nancy J. Bailey

This is the incredible true story of Challenger, who inspired a nation to bring the bald eagle back from the brink of extinction in the lower 48 states. His story dazzles with the help of Dolly Parton and a whirlwind lifestyle of celebrities. It tells of senators and presidents, five MLB World Series, three NFL Pro-Bowls, and a host of other events, all in an effort to save the species and preserve an American national symbol. Al and Challenger have spent over a decade lobbying Congress to promote the Endangered Species Act, and the protection of all threatened wildlife. The American Bald Eagle, now removed from the Endangered Species List, is rebounding even as our country is reeling in a recession. Challenger's story provides a message of hope. Most of all, it reveals the special relationship between a man and a magnificent bird, championing a cause in a partnership that has spanned over twenty years. Proceeds from this book will benefit the American Eagle Foundation.
