What is a "bald eagle"?
A bald eagle is a large bird of prey found primarily in North America. With its distinctive white head and tail contrasting against a dark brown body, the bald eagle commands attention wherever it soars. Known for its impressive wingspan and powerful talons, the bald eagle is a skilled hunter, feeding primarily on fish but also opportunistically scavenging on carrion. It possesses exceptional eyesight, allowing it to spot prey from high in the sky or perch atop tall trees. The bald eagle is not only an iconic species but also holds great cultural significance, representing resilience and national pride.
