#23 - The Bald Eagle
|
| | |
Without a doubt, the Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, the national symbol and
bird of the United States is one of the most recognizable birds anywhere.
|
| | |
 |
Spotting a mature Bald Eagle with its hooked, yellow bill, powerful yellow feet, penetrating yellow eyes and famous white head and tale is an exciting and unmistakable sighting. |
| | |
 |
|
Juvenile Bald Eagles are often not recognized because they lack the more distinctive plumage. It may take five years to reach full, majestic maturity. Adult birds measure almost 3 ft/1 m long with a wingspan of 80 in/ 2 m. |
| | |
|
 |
The Bald Eagle is a powerful predator. It is often perched high or soaring over water feeding on almost anything including fish, small mammals, reptiles and carrion. |
