Watch the Eagle
 Challenger is his name, in honor of the lost space shuttle crew. He is cared for by the nonprofit American Eagle Foundation (AEF). He is a "human-socialized" bird accidentally raised by the people who rescued him after being blown from a wild Louisiana nest after a storm in the late 1980's. He was trained by the AEF to perform educational free-flight demonstrations at high profile public events. Declared 'non-releasable' by federal authorities, he's the first Bald Eagle in U.S. History that learned to free-fly into Stadiums, arenas and ballrooms during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. The   celebrity eagle has appeared at numerous major sporting events like the World Series, Pro-Bowl, All-Star game, BCS National Championship, Fiesta Bowl, Men's Final Four, etc., and performed before four Presidents. Notice the special Presidential salute to him in the film.
