*** About Bald Eagle: The Bald Eagle, scientifically known as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle. Renowned for its massive wingspan and striking white head and tail feathers, the Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782. A spiritual symbol for indigenous people in North America, eagles are connected with many cultural values such as courage, wisdom, and freedom. The conservation success story of the Bald Eagle is noteworthy; once on the brink of extinction in the U.S., the species has recovered commendably due to various protection efforts, including banning harmful pesticides and strict enforcement of laws against hunting.
