Bald Eagle: Iconic Bird of Prey
With piercing eyes and wings that span the wind, the bald eagle soars as a symbol of strength across North America. Towering in flight with up to eight feet of wingspan, these raptors are ruled by the female—larger and more commanding than her mate.
By age five, the eagle dons its iconic white crown and tail, a sign of maturity and majesty. Lifelong pairs nest high in the trees, near rivers and wetlands, returning each year to expand their vast sanctuaries.
Fish are their main quarry, but they adapt with ease, scavenging and hunting as needed. Together, eagle pairs build, hunt, and fiercely guard their territory, a bond both practical and profound.
