bald eagles

Bald eagles are large birds of prey native to North America, known for their striking white heads and tail feathers contrasted with dark brown bodies. They are powerful hunters, primarily feeding on fish, which they catch using their sharp talons. Bald eagles typically live near lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, where food is abundant. They build massive nests called eyries, often reused and added to each year. As a symbol of freedom and strength, bald eagles are protected by law, and their populations have recovered after past threats from hunting and habitat loss.
