The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a magnificent bird of prey native to North America, known for its striking white head and tail feathers contrasted against a dark brown body. As the national bird and symbol of the United States, the Bald Eagle embodies strength, freedom, and resilience. This awe-inspiring raptor can be found near large bodies of open water, where it soars gracefully with its impressive wingspan of up to 8 feet. With keen eyesight and powerful talons, the Bald Eagle is a formidable hunter, primarily feeding on fish but also known to scavenge and hunt small mammals and birds. Conservation efforts have helped the Bald Eagle rebound from the brink of extinction, making its presence in the wild a celebrated conservation success story.
