Stephen Jr.

The one and only steagle born in the San Francisco Zoo named after Colbert. Stephen Jr. was hatched to be reintroduced into the wild as a part of the zoo's California Bald Eagle Breeding Program. Colbert celebrated Junior's birth on-air on April 17, 2006, and updates on the bird's development have been featured on the show since.

Stephen Jr.'s Canadian Journey
Stephen Jr. left on his Canadian journey on June 08, 2006. He crossed into Canadian airspace on August 10, bringing with him a multitude of bears. If they know what's good for them, the bears will stay in pine fresh Canada. Stephen Jr. has remained in Canada for the time being, looking for Vietnam War draft dodgers and terrorist pigeons attempting to cross our northern border. Stephen is reeling from Stephen Jr's defection to Canada: Why couldn't he have just been gay?

As of November 14th, 2006, Stephen Jr. appeared to be flying back to the United States thanks to the heroes waving salmon on our Northern border. But they need to wave the salmon (or trout) harder: After being lost because of an uncharged tree-hugging solar-powered tracking device, in an early December 2006 Christmas Miracle, Stephen Jr. was found hanging around a Vancouver garbage dump, jonesing on Gogurt wrappers.
