*** About Bald Eagles: Bald eagles, known scientifically as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, are powerful birds of prey found throughout North America. As a symbol of strength and freedom, these majestic creatures have a significant presence in folklore and symbolism, particularly in the United States and Canada. Adult bald eagles are easily recognizable by their white head and tail feathers, contrasted with dark brown body and wings. They prefer habitats near water bodies, from which they primarily fish their prey. Bald eagles build some of the largest of any bird nests - often reused and added to each year, these structures can reach up to 10 feet in diameter and weigh over a ton.
