*** About Bald Eagles

***: Bald Eagles are not only a symbol of strength and freedom but also an important part of North American culture and natural heritage. Predominantly fish eaters, these majestic birds are known for their impressive wingspans and distinctive white head and tail feathers, which develop when they are about four to five years old. Found near lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, Bald Eagles build large nests called aeries atop trees and cliffs. Their population rebound is one of the great success stories of wildlife conservation, having once been on the brink of extinction in the contiguous United States.
