Read  the narrative before viewing.

This   is a music video featuring a special free-flying Bald Eagle named 'Challenger' (in honor of the lost space shuttle crew) cared for by the non-profit American Eagle Foundation (AEF).

He's a 'human-socialized' bird raised by the people who rescued him - after being blown from a nest in the wild in Louisiana after a storm as a baby in the late 1980s. Declared 'non-releasable' by federal and state wildlife authorities, he was trained by the  AEF to perform educational free-flight demonstrations at high profile public events.

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.

Challenger has also  flown before four U.S. Presidents!

His life story is told in a children's storybook titled 'Challenger, America's Favorite Eagle.'
