Bald Eagle
overview
The Bald eagle is a bird of prey renowned for its striking white head, dark brown body, and powerful, hooked beak. Found near rivers, lakes, and coastlines, these eagles are expert fish hunters, often swooping down with their sharp talons to snatch their catch. Known for their incredible wingspan and soaring flight, bald eagles build massive nests, called aeries, high in trees or cliffs.
