*** About Bald Eagles: The Bald Eagle, known scientifically as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, has long been a symbol of freedom and strength in American culture, notably recognized as the national bird of the United States. This majestic raptor prefers habitats near water bodies, from where it can easily source its primary diet of fish. Bald Eagles are noted for their impressive wingspan, measuring up to 7.5 feet across, and their striking feature of a white head and tail that develops fully when the bird matures at around five years of age. Conservation efforts have seen their status improve substantially after a decline due to hunting, habitat loss, and the effects of pesticides like DDT. Today, they are a success story of wildlife protection, thriving across North America's lakes, rivers, and coastal regions.
