Act, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. All three of these acts generally state that the U.S. prohibits the pursuance, harming, harassing, purchasing, taking, killing, possession, transportation, and importation of migratory birds, their eggs, parts, and nests, unless allowed by permit.

On Saturday, September 22, 2007, millions of Americans will celebrate the success of the bald eagle and many other species as part of National Hunting and Fishing Day activities that will be going on nationwide. National Hunting and Fishing Day began after a presidential proclamation in 1972 that sets aside the fourth Saturday of each September for the event.

Since then, national, regional, state and local organizations have staged, thousands of open house hunting- and fishing-related events everywhere from shooting ranges to suburban frog ponds, providing millions of Americans with a chance to experience, understand and appreciate traditional outdoor sports.

The careful bald eagle conservation efforts of the past have given millions of people the thrill of seeing the bald eagle soar high above the ground, to hear it call in the distance and continue to grace some of the United States’ most beautiful locales. Conservation groups, sportsmen and women and wildlife watchers alike are all stakeholders in the future of the bald eagle, to ensure that this majestic creature remains a symbol of America and not a distant memory.

National Hunting and Fishing Day, formalized by Congress in 1971, was created by the National Shooting Sports Foundation to celebrate the conservation successes of hunters and anglers. National Hunting and Fishing Day is observed on the fourth Saturday of every September.
