Bald eagle
The bald eagle is a type of sea eagle found in a wide range of areas including Canada, the contiguous United States, and some parts of northern Mexico. While bald eagles are not actually bald, the term comes from an older meaning of the word "white-headed". The proud national symbol of our country, this amazing eagle feasts mainly on fish and creates the largest nests of any North American bird.
