American Bald Eagle

American Bald Eagle
The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a large bird of prey native to North America. It has a distinctive white head and tail feathers, with a dark brown body and wings. Bald Eagles have a powerful hooked beak and sharp talons that they use to catch and eat fish, birds, and small mammals. They are known for their strong, soaring flight, and can often be seen circling high in the sky. Bald Eagles are the national bird and symbol of the United States, and they were once on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss and hunting. Thanks to conservation efforts, their populations have rebounded, and they can now be found in a variety of habitats across North America, including near waterways and coastlines. They are often seen nesting in tall trees near bodies of water, and their distinctive call sounds like a high-pitched whistle. Bald Eagles are protected by law in the United States and Canada, and it is illegal to harm or kill them.
