***About Bald Eagles

***: Bald eagles, recognized by their distinctive white heads and tails contrasting sharply against their dark brown bodies and wings, are powerful symbols of freedom. As the national bird of the United States, they hold a place of honor in American culture and mythology. These birds of prey prefer habitats near water bodies, from where they swoop down to snatch fish with remarkable precision. Their nests, known as eyries, are often situated high in tall trees or on cliff faces to offer protection and a strategic view of the surrounding area for hunting. Renowned for their impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 7.5 feet, bald eagles have been a major conservation success story, rebounding from the brink of extinction in the latter half of the 20th century.
