Bald Eagles - Pictures Facts - Distribution
Bald Eagles are the only eagles unique to North America. They are found from Alaska to northern Mexico. The main part of the Bald Eagle population lives in Alaska, because there are a lot of game and remote places for nesting there. When the first settlers came to America, there were about 500,000 Bald Eagles; they inhabited coasts of every river.
Bald Eagles - Pictures Facts - Description
Bald Eagles are named so for their white head and tail. Until 5 or more years of age these birds are brownish and only in the adulthood do they develop distinctive white plumage on the head and tail. This species is one of the largest birds of prey with its wingspan measuring up to 2.3 m. and these birds weigh from 8 to 14 pounds and females are larger than Bald eagle males.
Bald Eagles - Pictures Facts - Senses
Like all eagles, Bald Eagles have excellent eyesight. They have two centers of focus and are able to see both forward and to the sides. It allows them to see fish in the water from several hundred feet while gliding. It is possible for a Bald Eagle to spot prey over an area of 3 square miles. Eagles possess three eyelids (to be exact, the third is a translucent nictitating membrane that wipes dirt from the cornea). Hearing of Bald Eagles is not very helpful in hunting.
