*** About Bald Eagle: Known scientifically as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, the bald eagle is not only the national bird and emblem of the United States but also a symbol of freedom and strength. This large bird of prey prefers habitats near open water where it expertly hunts fish, its primary food source. Bald eagles are known for their impressive wingspan, which can exceed 7 feet, and their distinctive white head and tail feathers, which they develop at about 4-5 years of age. Conservation efforts have successfully brought the bald eagle back from the brink of extinction in the latter half of the 20th century, making it a compelling success story in wildlife preservation. Today, these eagles are often celebrated in American culture and are a focus of wildlife watching throughout North America.
