Their births continue a remarkable legacy at Carillon Historical Park, where the resident bald eagles have produced 20 eaglets over the past nine years.\n\n\u201cAmerica and Independence are fitting symbols as our country celebrates 250 years of freedom,\u201d said Congressman Turner. \u201cThe story of the bald eagle is one of resilience, recovery, and renewal \u2014 qualities that have also defined our Nation throughout its history. It is especially meaningful to see these two young eagles take flight right here in Dayton, a community whose history has always been tied to innovation and flight.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhen these two bald eagles were born in a tall sycamore above the Wright Brothers National Museum and the 1905 Wright Flyer III \u2014 the world\u2019s first practical airplane \u2014 it marked an extraordinary moment for Carillon Historical Park and the Dayton community,\u201d said Brady Kress, President & CEO of Dayton History. \u201cHere were two symbols of American flight, separated by more than a century of history, making Carillon Park their home. In this 250th anniversary of our great nation, we\u2019re honored that Congressman Turner recognized the event in the Congressional Record.\u201d\n\nOn July 27, Turner entered a statement into the Congressional Record titled \u201cYoung Bald Eagles Symbolize American Freedom and Resilience,\u201d recognizing the birth of the eaglets and the historic recovery of the bald eagle population in the United States.\n\nDuring the ceremony at the Carillon eagle nest site, Turner presented the Congressional Record recognition to Dayton History\u2019s President and CEO Brady Kress in honor of the organization\u2019s stewardship of Carillon Historical Park and this unique chapter in Dayton\u2019s history.\n\nThe underlying Congressional Record notes that bald eagles have recovered from roughly 400 breeding pairs in 1960 to more than 71,000 active nests nationwide, including 964 in Ohio.", 1, "2026-09-10T09:25:58Z", "2026-09-10T09:27:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://turner.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/turner-honors-dayton-history-carillon-bald-eagles-with-congressional-record-recognitio"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.808012904599309, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
