Fourth of July 2021

Google Dooles 05.07.2021 05:45  Date: July 4, 2021 Congress is now in session—but a different one than you might think! Did you know? A “congress” refers to a group of bald eagles, the national bird of the United States. These parading pals have swooped into today’s Doodle to celebrate the Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day. On this day in 1776, the adoption of the Declaration of Independence proclaimed the sovereignty of the United States. Although the population of bald eagles in the contiguous United States once teetered on the brink of extinction, they now thrive with an estimated population above 316,000 thanks to the passage of the National Emblem Act in 1940 and recent conservationist efforts. Talk about a soaring comeback! Happy 4th of July, USA! Let sparks fly and to celebrate the 4th of July! Early drafts of the Doodle below Location: , Tags: , , , , ,
