American Bald Eagle

The American Bald Eagle is a large bird of prey native to North America, recognized for its distinctive white head and tail contrasted against a dark brown body. It serves as the national symbol of the United States, representing strength and freedom. Bald Eagles primarily feed on fish and are known for their impressive flying abilities, often soaring to great heights. They typically build large nests near water sources and are monogamous, often mating for life. Conservation efforts in the 20th century helped recover their population after significant declines due to habitat loss and pesticide use.
