The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America, known for its striking appearance and symbolic status. Distinguished by its white head and tail feathers contrasting with a dark brown body and wings, the bald eagle is not actually bald; its name derives from an older meaning of "white-headed." These raptors are powerful hunters, with sharp talons and a hooked beak designed for catching and consuming fish, their primary diet.
Bald eagles build some of the largest nests of any bird species, often returning to the same nest year after year and adding to it. They are found near large bodies of open water, such as lakes and coastal regions, and are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act in the United States. As a symbol of strength and freedom, the bald eagle holds a special place in American heritage.
