NOTES
The forty-eight species in Back have all rebounded from borderline extinction through sustained attempts to reintroduce them to their original habitats, and at times through sheer resilience. A bald eagle’s egg, seen toward the print’s bottom left edge, is an apt symbol for this bird’s re-emergence since the 1970s. Thanks to government agencies, as well as organizations like the St. Louis-based World Bird Sanctuary, bald eagles are no longer an uncommon sight in the skies over Missouri and across the United States.
