*** About Bald Eagles: Known scientifically as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, the Bald Eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A powerful symbol of the United States, it has been the national emblem since 1782. These majestic creatures prefer habitats near bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting. Adult Bald Eagles are easily recognized by their striking white heads and tails contrasting sharply with their dark brown body and wings. Their diet primarily includes fish, which they snatch from the water with their strong, sharp talons. Bald Eagles are also known for their impressive nest sizes, which are amongst the largest of any bird species and can be used and added to for many years.
