DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!
We have a winner, it is indeed the Whooping Crane. Due to hunting pressure, the population was reduced to very small numbers, conservationists stepped in, and they have made a wonderfull comeback.
NJ, I will need your address brother, and some Canadian treats will be coming your way soon.

The hills and the hollers
I am sorry for the delay, I wanted something good. What recognizable symbol was designed in 1877 and is still in use today. Two guesses per day, I will give at least one hint a day till some one gets it. Have fun. Tom
I like that guess, I had to check and make sure it wasn't.
First clue: It was first made in 1877 but was adopted for it's current use in 1909.

The reason why I care about this story is because the Symbol was presnted to a Police Officer, that was hurt in the line of Duty. Another Clue later if no one gets it.
Not even one guess today! 
Well it is the logo of a sports team! This should help and I promise to make the package worth it.
More clues in the AM if no gets it.

NY Yanks Logo
"What would become the most recognizable insignia in sports the interlocking "NY" made its first appearance on the uniforms of the New York Highlanders in 1909. The design was actually created in 1877 by Louis B. Tiffany for a medal to be given by the New York City Police Department to Officer John McDowell, the first NYC policeman shot in the line of duty. Perhaps because one of the club's owners, Bill Devery, was a former NYC police chief, the design was adopted by the Highlanders. It first appeared on both the cap and on the jersey's left sleeve, replacing the separated "N" and "Y" which had appeared on the left and right breast each season since 1903 with the exception of 1905. For that season only, the "N" and "Y" were merged side by side into a monogram on the left breast actually a forerunner of the now legendary emblem."
